Calling All Wizards

(My outfit yesterday was a repeat and I wanted to eat my cheeseburger while it was still hot, so no pics. But the cheeseburger was amazing, so I’m sure you understand. Instead I’m going to blog about what I did last night)

Recently I saw a few Golden Snitch necklaces on Etsy and I thought that they were really cute! I thought “hey, I want one of those” but I also thought “dude, I have wings, and I have brass balls!*

So last night I set about making a Golden Snitch of my own, and it turned out to be a lot more difficult that I thought it was going to be!

But look how cute!~

There was MUCH fussing about and putting together and pulling apart and putting it back together. I tried all different combinations of the two wing sizes and the two jump ring sizes I had. Then I had to determine placement. It ended up working best with large wings with small jump rings at a FIXED place on the chain, and a large jump ring on the ball in between (not fixed).

Golden Snitch
I’m super pleased with the result.

I have already had one request for one at work, and I think I have materials to make two more than that for the store if there is interest, but I just love how it came out.
