Tired of wearing your Snake Twist the same way? We've compiled some great new ways to twist your bendable necklace with how-to directions. We used various Snake Twist colors and sizes. 

1. Simple Double Loop Twist

How to Twist: Place the necklace around your neck then loop it once so that it's crossed one time in the middle. Take the entire loop and fold it up over the long part of the necklace. Move the twisted section to the length and size of loops suited for your outfit or the top you are wearing.

2. One Big Infinity Loop

(Shanelle is wearing a Gold and Silver Thick Snake Twist)

How to twist: Start with the necklace laying long around your neck. Cross it once in the middle then fold up. Pull it down so there are two tight loops on top of one another. Then cross the untwisted part of the necklace (the loop on the bottom should be on the top). Lastly, twist both loops above the crossed point, making a third loop. Move the necklace around to suit the size you would like.

3. Art Deco With Crystal Ball

How to Twist: This way of twisting is all about getting the Snake Twist to bend to the sides. Follow the same directions as the 'one big infinity loop' and then then spread apart the top loop to the right and left. It will look like five loops. Use your hands to place the necklace how you would like, making some loops smaller than the others. If you are wearing a crystal ball necklace, try placing the ball near the top so it doesn't way the necklace down. This necklace is worn similarly by Carol Thatcher in Iron Lady

4. Flower Twist, Three Big Loops

(Shanelle is wearing a Gun Metal Thick Snake Necklace)

How to Twist: This style is similar to the 'one big infinity loop' but can only be done with an 8mm Thick Snake Twist. Follow the directions for the infinity loop, then spread each loop out evenly. Customize where you want the loops to bend. 

5. Thick Twisted Bracelet

(Shanelle is wearing a Silver and Gold 8mm Thick Snake Twist)

How to Twist: Wrap the Snake Twist around your wrist like a rubber band, looping it until it cannot loop again. Take what's left over, or that is loose and twist it into its own loop. Bend the extra loop back towards your wrist.

6. Circle Floating Twist

(Cindy is wearing a Gun Metal Ball Necklace) 

How to twist: Start with the necklace laying long against your chest. Cross it over once and flip loop up towards your neck. Make the loop bigger and then twist the loop twice. Position the twists how you would like, floating towards your neck.

7. Down and Tight Twist

(Cindy is wearing a Rose Gold and Gun Metal Thick Snake Twist)

How to Twist: Follow the steps for the 'one big infinity loop' but cross the necklace one more time as follows: Cross the Snake Twist once and flip up towards your neck, cross and flip up again, cross again and spread out the loops. This will give a tighter more downward look. 

8. Crystal Ball Bracelet

I'm the kind of person that has a very clean apartment, until you open up the drawers and cabinets. I'm more of an out of sight... out of mind kind of a person.

This morning my boyfriend and I were talking about how we fit together even though we are both extroverts. I'm a type B creative extrovert and he is a type A extrovert (addicted to detail, organization and not allowing me to buy things). The only place I'm truly organized is my jewelry collection, but it didn't happen till I discovered a trick that brings decoration, jewelry and organization together into one artistic expression. 

Do you ever forget that you have a necklace or bracelet and wish you had remembered for a particular outfit you were putting together?

I used to do this all the time! And sometimes I would end up buying new pieces, not knowing what's in my collection because A. I don't have time to dig (and break pieces digging) and B. everything is in drawers. 

This all changed one day at IKEA. 

Last year when I moved apartments- my new place was in dire need of updating. While it has an amazing view of Seattle (aka rent costs are up 8% here), it has not been updated since the 70's.. uh maybe the 60's. I even had to ask for the dated brown paneling to be painted white.

Stainless Steel & Granite vs. City View? City View with half cut tree-hedge wins! (City won't let me remove.. typical Seattle)

Ideas for Organizing for those who tend to be unorganized

Being the 'creative and on budget' girl that I am, I was trying to update the bathroom and kitchen with silver accessories from Ikea. After some Swedish meatballs, I plunged through a crowd of screaming children to the bathroom towel racks and it dawned on me! I can decorate my room "Mad Hatter" style with these towel racks and hang all my necklaces and it will be fabulous. BINGO! Like any good idea- it's worthless unless you put it to action. 

Towel Racks to Hang Necklaces

Note- I have a lot of jewelry because of my business (most of it is samples)

Ikea towel racks are cheap and easy to assemble. You just need a drill and the right size screws. I did this myself!  

Make sure you measure your necklaces and have a place for the short one's and the long one's. 

Mad Hatter Look- Making nothing that goes together, look like it should. 

It might be a good idea to color code your necklaces- but I have too many that are different lengths, so it would look strange. You can also use a longer Ikea rack to hang your scarves (switch out winter with spring/summer scarves). The black empty frames tie the wall together without taking away from the color / texture the necklaces add. 

Platters on your vanity are a great way to display your bracelets, watches, earrings, etc.

Use decorative trays and platters (all mine came from Goodwill or my mom's attic) to add 'sophisticated separation' to the top of a dresser or table. This will show your real interior decorator / designer friends that you are starting to know what you are doing.

DIY Bedroom Vanity

Make-it-yourself vanity: I bought this one craigslist for $50 from a tattoo parlor and found the gold mirror at Goodwill for like $20. The man in line was like you are leaving with the best stuff! I wanted to paint it silver and white, but I like the character too much! 

Putting a vanity in your bedroom creates world peace when you live in a small space and share a bathroom. It also makes you feel sophisticated.

The ONE Messy Drawer

Nothing ever gets used in this messy drawer.

Displaying Belts

Use a towel rack for your bathroom on the back of your bedroom door to hang your belts and your boyfriend's ties. Desperate for space calls for desperate 'creative' measures.

Perfumes and Colognes can be decoration! 

Display your perfume and cologne on a tray and add heighth with a plant or vase. You won't forget to spray perfume if it's right there when you wake up! And your bedroom will smell like spices.

Give your room some 'Je ne sais quoi'

Every room needs 'sets of three' that include: texture, pop of color, height, width, pattern, life (plants/flowers) and neutral (white, black, gray, air, nothing). You can't have an even amount of anything (like pillows, lights) or all one thing because it makes the room feel off balance and it will give off bad energy which can effect your daily life.

Everything needs to flow.
