I love - raw crystal jewellery

I don't think it's any secret that I fecking love raw crystals. And I can safely say I've gotten a little neat collection. The only downside to this obsession is that it's so hard to find some okay priced ones. I live in Denmark, where if I buy from outside Europe, it can't go over 80 kr ($14/£8) before the risk of import taxes can be added (which, may are add, are insane!) And sometimes the shipping is just ridiculous.

BUT!

I found this lovely seller on eBay, and I was sold. The first picture was unfortunately (not for me, hehe) a one of a kind, but the two after can still be found on the shop. Shipping was fast, it's from Australia, I live in Denmark and it took maybe 1½ weeks. I can highly recommend!

The two last ones were from a DIY I did not long ago. Check it out here if you haven't seen that already! The seller for the crystals is in that post as well.

I thought about giving advice on how to style them, but I'm not fashion expert or anything, and I really wear them with whatever I wish. So you can ROCK (get it, crystals, rocks, hahahaha?!?!?) however you like!

Sunday Funday: My week in pictures

On the 13th Buster turned 11! It was a really special birthday for us, since we almost lost him in August. He loved his cake to bits! And pressies. He loves opening presents, it's adorable.

Been counting down to the Christmas decorating time! My mum doesn't allow ANY Christmas decorations out before 1st December. 2 weeks left!

"Peace & Love & OPI" (by OPI, duh) matches kinda perfectly with the necklace I showed you how to make last Sunday

This is a life saver. I live with my mum and my younger brother, and they can take up the entire hook rack thing in the hall way. So I finally got a coat rack to hang over my door! Got it for $4 on eBay I believe. LIFE SAVER!

Better well prepared that not prepared at all! Only 4 presents left to buy ;-)

Nothing screams health like onion and cheese pizza and a fizzy drink that looks toxic. 

My life isn't that interesting but I had no idea what else to do for Sunday's post. I've been ill all week and that's always a mood booster, am I right?!

How was your week? Are you also counting down to decoration day?

What's on my nails? 13/11/2013

OPI - Designer...de Better! // OPI - Peace & Love & OPI // Sally Hansen Double Duty base and top coat

Peace & Love & OPI is an oil slick kind of colour.

Looks purple in some lights and in others a bright teal.

DIY: Crystal necklace

You'll need:

Metal thread, crystals (with holes in), a chain, pair of scissors, super glue and a.. jewellery.. thing..

How you do it:

Cut chain to desired length

Cut a piece of metal thread, rather cut it too long than too short!

Add chain to the thread

Make a loop around the chain to secure it

Tighten it

Cut off excess thread and put into the crystal and add a drop of super glue. Repeat on the other side!

Final product:

If you're giving this as a present, find a cute box, put some kind of lining in and bam! Looks very pretty and they will be shocked when you say you made it yourself

I love crystal necklaces and it's super easy to make! Christmas is around the corner, it makes an adorable present. And who doesn't love a home made present? It's personal and you spend time doing it! So I hope you can use this little quick DIY. I had fun making it!

Where to get crystals: Ebay, I got mine from this seller. Else markets, craft shops.
