Weave bracelet



This is a lovely bracelet I made, i made it by having 2 pieces of tigertail, i simply placed a bead on each piece then every 3rd bead was threaded onto both pieces and pulled down to create the weave effect.
The spiral charm was made buy using wire, i started with just a small basic loop and moulded the wire around and around until i had the spiral shape. I finished off the end of the spiral by making a small loop so that it could be attached to the bracelet.
I opened the attaching loop and hooked it through the tigertail in the place i wanted the charm to hang and closed the loop back around the tiger tail.





And this is another jewellery set I have made

Rayley Crafts

Hello and welcome to Rayley crafts,

Firstly here is a little story to how I came up with the name, My father Ray passed away this year on the 23rd June so i wanted to pay tribute to him, i miss him very much and this will be my first christmas without him and I have found the past few months that crafting has really helped  me during this difficult time.


My name is Beverley so i took my fathers name and the end of my name and came up with the name Rayley Crafts, I hope you like it as much as I do.

I am a crafter who loves to make anything and everything and here on my blog i will be sharing all my idea's and designs for everything i make.

I first started out crafting with knitting and over the past few years it has now developed into
Knitting, Crochet, Cross stitch, Cardmaking, Jewellery making and scrapbooking.

I have recently invested in a sewing machine as well got to admit i am a bit scared of it at the moment but i will make it my resolution to learn how to sew using my sewing machine.

In the new year i will be creating my own etsy store where you can purchase the items i have made, i will also be showing the items as i make them so that you can see the designs in progress and the story and the thinking behind the design.

Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope you will visit again soon X
