I learned from my sister-in-law how to make accessories. She is very handy at these stuffs and makes them during free time. She taught me how to make bracelets, key chains, cellphone chains, earrings, necklaces etc. It's fairly easy because all you need are pliers, scissors and accessory materials. The materials we use looks like these: facebook.com/album.php?id=100001883394562&aid=12714
That's my fb store, but I don't sell stuffs anymore. You can browse the other albums of the accessories we already made. Although they're all sold. There is also an album of beads. Crafting is fun. If you're interested I can teach how to make some ^_^
And if you're from Philippines, I bought these stuffs at Quiapo. Materials are cheap at the bright Chinese store at the farthest end of the street of the materials stores. It's near the Quiapo Church.
I love making accessories, besides crocheting and sewing. How about you? Do you do your own accessories or want to?

It's a nice pastime and the crafts can be used as gifts made with special thoughtfulness. I make purses too, but with crochet yarn. I don't know how to make one with beads. That's cool.

yeap she started a little business there, It is a nice hobby for her and I see that she enjoys it, but studying is a completely different thing :)
We have made a post there about contacting information, I don't think that it is proper to post contacting information here. I think she'll be glad though to see that you liked it, thanks. :)

I found the facebook page and it's in Greek I can work out some words but translation doesn't seem to work on all words. and I saw lots of new pictures of bracelets & necklaces. I like it and I hope that her products will be more popular ^_^
If ever,someday I get to fly to different countries, I'll make sure to visit her items & buy that bottle cap rings .

I do make a lot of my own jewelry and I have a lot of fun taking the idea out of my head and making it a reality that I can wear to work or on a date with my boyfriend. There are a few store around where I live that I can beads and things fairly cheap. One has a barrel of beads that I can go through and put into a little baggie for 2.75 instead of spending 2 dollars or so on just a few beads. I learned how to do it when I worked for a jewelry store over the summer one year and I just fell in love with it.

The necklace set is really cool :D I wish I can buy beads easily since I usually run out of materials. The place I get materials is a two hour commute from where I live, and I dunno how to get there alone.. I usually go with my mom, who thinks its a waste T___T
I fell in love with it when my sister-in-law had a small business selling gift items like jewelries so we got inspired almost the same way ^^

Wow, my sister also knows that knot and made me one ^__^ (but she calls it Chinese double knot, I dunno if they're the same though)
Those bracelets are really cute, I wish I could learn that too but I get too confused when its my sister that teaches me _
