Artist Features

Hello all!

Starting next week I will start featuring artists on my blog! I hope to have one or two a month, but that will depend on how many sign up, lol. And for that I will need your help!
If you know anyone, or you yourself are an artist and would like to be featured please send me an email at precious.desert.rose@gmail.com so I can give you the full details!
Also, add ARTIST FEATURE as the subject and answer the following questions :

1. Would you be comfortable with providing a picture of yourself and minor personal details (i.e age,general location)? 
2. This is completely up to you, but would you be interested in hosting a giveaway for the readers?
3.  Would you be able to provide good quality pictures of your work?

I am really looking forward to hearing from you guys!

Please, if you know anyone who would be interested, send them to this post! haha

DIY- 3 step above the knuckle ring

Hi guys! Today I bring you this super easy DIY above the knuckle ring. For this ring here, that kinda looks like a bulls nose ring. you only need a few materials and it is only THREE steps! Can't get any easier then that! :) 

I first saw rings like this on Instagram a couple months back, and thought there were really cute, so I decided to make my own. I've also made one with chain, and an infinity one. I will be adding a tutorial for those sometime soon too, so be on the lookout :)

•  26 gauge wire (Wal-Mart carries this for around 3 dollars)
• Jewelry Glue (I used G.S Hypo Cement Jewelry glue)
• Small beads (about the size of  seed bead)
• Wire cutters
• Ring Mendrel or anything round about the size of your finger (i.e. a chapstik)

1. Cut about 1 inch of wire

 2. Using your mendrel, or round onject, make a horseshoe shape. 

 Measure around your finger, and cut any excess wire

 3. Add a bit of glue to the ends and add your bead. 

VIOLA! You are done! See, super easy! And it looks cute too, very dainty and girly :)

I hope you enjoyed this DIY, and give it a try. :D

Until next time!!!!

DIY fabric bow bracelet

It seems that I am obsessed with bows lately, so why not make one into a bracelet? This is easy to do, and the options are endless! Also, you can add a bit more dazzle with studs, rhinestones, pearls; pretty much anything you can think of! You might even try adding some charms, but I liked it just with the bow :)

•  bow (tutorial here)
• chain, about 3 inches
• 3 jump rings
• lobster clasp
• a nail
• hammer
• pliers

(I am really sorry this post has no pictures, unfortunately my memory card formatted. I will update this later with pictures!) 

• On a hard surface,one where you don't mind hammering,  lay your bow and mark two dots near the edges in the middle.

• Place the nail on one of the marks, and hammer down through the fabric. You want to make sure you get it in all the way. Now do this to the other side.
• Once you have your holes, add a jump ring to each one. Close one, and add the chain to the other one. 
• Add the third jump ring to the other end of the chain, and to that add your clasp.

Once done, you can go ahead and decorate it anyway you want as I mentioned above. :)

If you don't like the way I chose to close this bracelet, you can always change it up. To me, this way was the easiest.

If you try this one, feel free to send me a picture to my email (precious.desert.rose@gmail.com), or instagram it to me (desertrose77).
