Wire Heart Valentines Day Necklace

I am not a huge fan of Heart jewelry but the closer it gets to Valentines Day my opinion seems to change. So I decided to make a little necklace out of some recycled telephone wire and leather strips. To start the heart I cut two piece of telephone wire about 18" Long. Next I used a Glitter Heart as my template for the shape of the heart and bent the wire accordingly. For the center of the Heart I twisted the two wires together about 5 times. You can do this with your hand or you can use a pair of pliers. I then shaped the bottom of the heart by twisting the ends together Then I wound the extra back up over the twist to form knob. I then added a little leather cord and it was done.  I made a second one by stringing a few faux pearls on the wire and wrapping the leather cord in between.  They are so easy and inexpensive to make. Just add a few pearls..  And you have a cute and fun Valentines Necklace! Enjoy!

Zipper and Wire Bracelet

Some time ago, I picked up some old zippers at an estate sale and this past weekend I finally had an idea for what to use it for. I decided to combined the zipper with some old phone wire that I have had for about ten years. And I made this lovely bracelet. I did this by wrapping the zipper with wire and then adding a toggle. I think it looks better than I thought when I was creating it and looks great with my a bit of summer sun! Enjoy!
