A DIY Attempt

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, school has started and I'm already feeling slightly overwhelmed with the amount of work I have to do. Sadly, this probably means I'll be posting less frequently…but I want to try and have at least one blog post a week up so we'll see how that goes! Since my last post, I purchased my first DSLR camera (ahhh!) since my other camera is a bit broken. I've been interested in learning more about photography, and I'd also like my blog picture quality to be nicer. Ever since I posted the pictures Jeremy took for my last two DADJ posts, I have not been able to look at my pictures taken with my old camera in the same way…haha. I figured if there was a time to get a new camera, it'd be now, and after debating for about a month I decided on getting the Canon Rebel T3i (a HUGE thank you to my parents for the early birthday present). I'm still learning how to adjust the various settings, so bear with me as I work on my photography skills!

This DIY attempt was from a few weeks ago, when a few of my friends and I decided to have a jewelry-making hangout. I searched through Pinterest for some ideas, and decided to try making some wire rings. I tried looking for the specific pins that I got inspiration from, but couldn't find the exact ones. Just type in "DIY ring" into Pinterest and I'm sure you'll find 'em!

When I first found the bow design I knew I wanted to try it (it was actually kind of trickier than I thought it would be to make a nice bow…lol guess it just takes some practice), and I also wanted to try this midi ring style (with a slight variation on the design by using some Swarovski crystal beads). The midi ring ended up being my favorite! It was very easy to make for a jewelry-making newbie like myself, and I like that it's adjustable. Want to know why I ended up choosing this color assortment of beads? Well, it's because when I saw them at the store…they instantly reminded me of Frozen...haha! Anyways, since I still have a lot of wire left, next time I have spare time I may try out more DIY designs and report back.

Thought I'd start off with this post to get myself back into blogging mode again, hope everyone has a great week!

'Til next time!
