Welcome to our May Blog Hop - Sponsored by  Expo International .  Please start at the beginning,there's a "Treasure Chest of Trims" giveaway, all you have to do after visiting all the blogs comment on the DCC blog about your favorite projects to be entered to win!! simple right?  Here is the link to the start point  DCC Blog  . I received some really fun trims from this company, as soon as I opened the package and saw them I knew I had to make some fun jewelry. I used the Deanna beaded pom pom trim which is approximately 1/2" in width to create my first project.   I decided to increase the width of this trim by crocheting with some white beading wire and at the same time add some beads to match the tiny gold beads in between the pom poms, I added beading wire to each end of the bracelet to finish and add a clasp.   Here is a photo of the Deanna beaded pom pom trim   Below is a photo that shows some of the material...

I am so excited to use a new product in my crafting projects.  This new product is called Rowlux® Illusion Film and is made in the USA.  It comes in a divers range of amazing eye-catching colors and patterns.  The creative possibilities for this product are endless, the way it manipulates light to create dazzling visual effects will inspire anyone to step out of the box and create just about anything.  I love making jewelry and I love making flowers out of different materials, so I had to go ahead and try this new product to see how I could incorporate it into these two types of project.  I have to admit that the colors, patterns and illusions you get from these sheets of film are stunning, at first I really didn't want to cut them up, they looked so pretty.  Here are photos of the projects I created.
