Muslin Jewelry Bag

I bought some jewelry a while back at JCrew and they came packaged in cute muslin bags. These bags are fantastic for storing my jewelry. They keep necklaces and bracelets from getting tangled in my jewelry box. I decided to make a few more with some scrap muslin leftover from my draping class. (I can't throw anything out.) I stitched up the sides, used ribbon to close, and even hand embroidery little design for extra daintiness.

Floss and Chain Bracelet

I have the habit of going into antique or consignment stores and purchasing bags of broken jewelry or plain necklaces. I never know exactly what to do with them. When an idea pops into my head, I will already have the materials. The chain I used for this project I found at an antique store for around $3.00. It had 2 clips on either end. I removed one clip and removed the extra chain I did not need. I saw this bracelet on another site and thought, I can make this! I had the perfect chain to use and plenty of embroidery floss. I braided two different color floss around one side of the chain.  My plan was to make a necklace but I ran out of floss. Instead, I now have a double wrap bracelet. I am all about wrap bracelets right now. Let me know what you think.
