Pistachio shells again

Hello !! I used pista shells again for the jeweler..this time I colored the pistachio shells ..Thank you everyone for the lovely comments on the decoupage pistachio shell necklace .. so tried this way by coloring and glued a crystal drop shaped faceted rhinestone to it.. These are the complete pistachio sets ..

starting by coloring the pistachio shells..
Pistachio shells and metallic acrylics


Colored and drilled the holes with needle..

Gold wire for hook ,super glue for rhinestones ,cutter


made 3 of each color one for pendent and 2 for earrings..
 wrapped the wire and glue to the pistachio shell for blue color
 
 Used seed beads , pearls and rectangle beads..








 
Hope you like it ..
Thanks for stopping by ...Happy Monday :)

  8. Superb and vibrant collection Radhika! Absolutely love the colours and the co-ordinating strands you've made.. How did you drill the holes without breaking/cracking the shells?? By applying pressure on the needle with bare hands?
