So let's see this to me I'd say calls for food, friends, beach, sand and oh wait! Cute accessories to wear!
So let's start off with one of my favorites: choker necklace made of cotton or hemp(macreme). Then some earrings maybe an ankle bracelet or barefoot sandal and a couple of boho chic crochet bracelets and maybe finish it off with a cute flower barrette. Talk about bohochic cuteness!
I believe that you can wear accessories that will play well in the hot weather. You don't want something heavy that's going to drive you crazy because it's humid outside and hey you know yourself if you're anything like me you will want to rip it off cause you're annoyed that it's hot and clunky and you won't want to wear anything.
Well I can tell you that my style of making jewelry has always been to make things that not only will make you look cute and relaxed but you can definitely wear it anytime of the year it just all depends on how you want to dress up or down your outfit.
What I make I feel and believe in strongly it will keep looking cute and fabulous. Here I am showing you a couple of crochet seed bead bracelets, a very chic pair of crochet earrings with hand sewn seed beads as well. All the key components I mentioned in the beginning to make your outfit.
I used Aunt Lydia's crochet thread #3/yarn for the earrings - which I normally find a variety of colors and thread size at Jo-Ann Fabric. As for the embroidery floss/thread for the bracelets I find a big variety at Michaels.
Remember hot weather doesn't mean no accessories...just find the right pieces that will work well with the weather.

Awhile back I was venturing in creating things by using crocheting thread (Aunt Lydia's to be exact). I will say that for me it was the hardest thing to work with because of how thin it is. As I kept working on this challenge I did find out that it took a lot of practice for me to get used to working with a thin crochet hook.
Well I am happy to say that after several months of practicing I think I have the hang of it.
I made a couple of necklaces, earrings and bracelets and I have added some 6/0 seed beads ...which by the way are one of my favorites for jewelry making.
So as I was saying, I started making the see cute sassy necklaces, earrings and bracelets in a variety of lengths and width. I totally love layering with other jewelry pieces that are not in the same material. I totally love these!
Now for the necklace and bracelet I have used the embroidery or crochet thread or floss and for all of them I strung 60 to 100 of the seed beads, then I chain 3 and then bring up a bead and repeat this process til I get it to the length I want. For the earrings I don't string the beads first I actually crochet the piece and then hand sew the beads on.
So as I said before, here is something that I now can add to my bag of need tricks of crocheting.
Enjoy these pics!
