Sometimes one needs inspiration for jewelry making projects, so now that the holiday gifts are opened, I can share some of the crafts I have made. Here are some projects that were finished last minute – I took pictures of them yesterday.
Fun Bracelets
I enjoyed using a variety of clay, glass, cloisonne and gemstone beads in many bracelets. Often trying for different styles. Some beads from these came from jewelry shows, favorite bead stores and EBay. These make great gifts that are fun to make. You can really let your imagination run wild.
A Simple Set
This set took less than 20 minutes to make. You can make fancy gifts very economically. The materials used were high quality (Henn jasper, sterling silver beads, memory wire and sterling silver earwires) and look much better than pictured. If you are having a hard time finding great beads, try trading with a friend. Sometimes they have exactly what you are looking for.
