This tutorial is for anyone who likes to make things totally from scratch -- it differs from similar tutorials on other sites in that it is made totally from scratch, not from purchased components. Thanks to Dini from Natural Jewels for her tutorial on chains that taught me to make the figure eight links used here. Thanks!

Nice idea (though not the only one ;) but I prefer gemstones). Thanks for making it free.

I wish my boyfriend wore cufflinks... Then I could make these and give to him tomorrow for our 10th anniversary... Last minute gift idea ;)

Kasi,

Gemstones are good too -- especially the shiny clear ones! :)

My hubby doesn't wear jewelry or ties or cufflinks (or anything remotely dressy), so I know how that goes.

Happy Anniversary!

Dawn
