On The Cheap

I love making jewelry and, in fact, I make ALOT of jewelry.  I tend to like expensive beads and pendants and the like. But, I also like inexpensive beads and such.  My butterfly necklace and earrings cost me less than $5.00 to make, excluding the wire and toggle (my preference in clasps).  Wire is cheap and so are toggles (for the most part).  The beads and the butterfly were purchased from Walmart.  I didn't buy them to go together but once I started playing with my beads, I really liked the look of the two together.  I also added in a few silver spacers.  Together, they make a nice beautiful, somewhat dressy, necklace and earring set.  Enjoy!
