1. Rose earrings with topaz rhinestone fringe
These rose earrings ​​with rhinestone fringe were made inspired by the Autumn 2014 palette of pink and green autumn hues, The glass cabochons with vintage rose pictures have soft colours, making them very suitable for this season's jewellery. This tutorial shows you how you can make them yourself.

Autumn 2014 - Pink

Autumn 2014 Pink Secret Garden necklace

For fall 2014 I chose a palette of pink elements, accented with green. Here a selection of soft pink shades like baby pink, coral, salmon and pearl. Sweet pink creates an autumn feeling when combined with emerald and pastel green shades. For the finish I use rose gold material.

DIY cabochon necklaces with flowers


Making cabochons with flower images
I'm very fond of this collection cabochons. I made them myself, and so can you! I used some Mod Podge glue, 40x30 mm cabochons and a garden encyclopedia from the thrift store! The flower images gave me a lot of inspiration, which resulted in series of necklaces.

For details on how to use Mod Podge and glass cabochons have a look at my earlier tutorial on making glass cabochons for more tips.

Let's first have a look at the cabs themselves in close up :)
