Playing with thread is such a fun way to start the new year, don't you agree? LOL...I know that thread is not everyone's cup of tea, but I do enjoy creating tiny little pieces with it... As I was playing, I came up with these charming little hearts, and decided to turn them into jewelry pieces! Follow me for the free pattern, and instructions to make your own~ |
