Graveyard Glitter

Now, for the first set that doesn't have three items. I debated if I should count Alolan forms or if I should wait to see if I made it to Alola in the first place. I decided that I should just use the traditional forms to save money. I will do the Alolan forms eventually. Because Rattata is probably the most common Pokémon in every game it appears in, I used mostly leftover beads for this family. The only beads that weren't left over from other projects were the center beads on the Raticate bracelet, which came off a broken necklace. Rattata: A simple design for such a simple Pokémon. These beads weren't left over from a part of this project, but from a necklace I made for my sister to advertise my upcoming Etsy shop. Raticate: The center beads came from a broken necklace I bought at an auction, while the round, shiny beads are leftovers from the Pidgey family. I used a magnet clasp instead of a toggle to make it a little bit fancier. I have enoug

I think this might be something I use for display at my next craft show.

Still, one thing is clear: the Beedrill necklace is one of the greatest things to come from this challenge. I'm going to remake it just for me now, because I'm sure I can sell it. Weedle: These beads came from Hobby Lobby, as everything does. Two different strands, but the earrings are so blatantly Weedle that it's clear where my inspiration came from. Kakuna: This bracelet came from three different bead strands. This is probably the most disappointing piece in the set, but it's still cute. Beedrill: All the disappointment from Kakuna comes from the fact that the one thing I wanted to use for it, the long yellow beads used here, wouldn't go on the wire. This Beedrill necklace took those disappointment points and turned them into extra satisfaction here. I am just so proud of t
