I'm not sure if I'm seeing it correctly, but it's better to twist jump rings open rather than pulling the opening apart because that weakens it...

Little crafter's tip :)

@Kallibee Oh thanks for the tip! :] I'm definitely not an expert jewelry maker, so that's great to know.

Why would you open up the links of the chain for the gold beads? It's so much easier to open the metal loop in the bead than to open two of links from the necklace. Not to mention the necklace isn't as strong from opening up the links. That's just my personal opinion though

very cute! I don't know about the lace ball thingy, but other than that very cute!!
