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.

I used folk art Pickling Wash coral beauty and haze to paint the outside of the purse and for the handle I used their  brushed metal  in gold.  I like the pickling wash paints because it allows you to see the grain of the wood.  I thought at this point it would be a nice effect.
