Who doesn’t want to learn how to save money by making their own jewelry?? Pff! I know I do! That’s why I am so happy I found these few crafty tips on how to make jewelry! Let’s begin:
Project #1: “Wooden-Circle Bib Necklace.”

Tools needed:
3/8-inch round wooden beads, by Lara’s Crafts
Nylon-coated beading wire
Metal crimps
Needle-nose pliers
Step #1: Make Center Piece.

“Cut an 18-inch length of nylon-coated beading wire. String 12 beads onto the middle of wire, and thread opposite end through last bead to make the bottom circle. For middle circle, string 5 beads onto each end. Add 1 more, and thread opposite end through it. For top circle, string 5 beads onto each end. Add 1 more bead and a metal crimp, and thread opposite end through each. Close crimp with needlenose pliers; trim ends.”
Step #2: Make Right and Left Pieces.
“Cut a 55-inch length of wire. String 7 beads onto the middle of wire, then loop in far-right bead of center piece’s middle circle. Add 3 more beads to left end, and thread opposite end through last bead to make bottom circle. For second circle, add 5 beads to right end. Add 2 beads to left end, then loop in far-right bead of top-center circle. Add 3 more beads to left end, and thread opposite end through last bead. For third circle, thread 5 beads onto each end. Add 1 more, and thread opposite end through it. Repeat to add more circles to reach nape of neck, and close final circle with a crimp. To make the left piece, follow steps above. On final circle, loop in a bead from right piece’s last circle as the 12th bead, and close with a crimp.”
