Dec 10th 2011 - Antique Bracelet + Fabric Necklace

Antique Bracelet

This is the bracelet I made at the Chocolate Rain DIY Workshop back in December last year. I really like how the charms and the beads match with each other, even though I just randomly picked them at first...hahaha. Since I'm not so good in the artistic creativity department, I kind of spent too much time on picking out what charms and beads to choose. The whole process of making the bracelet required a lot of concentration and meticulousness. I'm glad I managed to finish it in the given 2 hours.

Considering that this is my first time making a bracelet, I think this is pretty decent :)

Fabric Necklace (November 20th/December 11th)

This took 2 classes in total (4+ hours) to make, as it was my first time sewing. Though it was difficult at first, I had fun doing it. 

What I learned: Fabric necklace (Pick out fabric -> Designs on paper (Paper templates -> Sew pieces together -> Put puff -> Finish Sewing )

Oct 30- First class @ Chocolate Rain (5:00 – 7:00)

Instructor: Janice

Product made: 

What I learned: How to make a bracelet with charms  (Pick out charms -> Using tweezers -> T-shaped and 9-shaped hooks ), using a focal color to make the bracelet more “united”

Reflection: The class was fun, but I learned that there were some major difficulties like always bending over, and my neck hurt from that. Also, the small details strained my eyes, and I was extremely tired after the class. However, I learned how the names of some tools and how they functioned. I’m glad I’m starting from easy to hard.
