please believe me, think it's hard now but it could be so easy, if you got something to say, say it now or forever keep it down

I have lots of beads and meters of chain, so I am starting some new DIY projects. Basic necklaces with one charm or a few beads are boring; I want to find other ways to use chain (ie: not just purposeful) and other ways to use beads (again, using beads for things other than to be beaded) if that makes any sense!





For example: I used a hot glue gun to stick some heart shaped beads onto a headband that I wore out for pride weekend. It was really simple and so cute!





Another idea I really like is chain collar necklaces. I've found a few pictures for ideas and inspiration (most are taken from Tumblr and unforunately I have sources for none of them) but they are pretty simple and I think I can elaborate on the idea quite a bit more.









Collar clips are another thing I might try





I desperately want to get some bone beads (I have some... maybe 4 max) so that I can do something like this. Hopefully by October!
