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.”

    Project #2: “Custom-Made Pearl Jewelry.”

    First post of the New Year!
    Here are a few decorating ideas that I like and would want to try them in the future.

    I absolutely love this idea. My favorite one so far!

    Fabric headboard. How clever!
    “Purchase a wooden drapery rod, two brackets, and hanging hardware from a home-supply store. Paint the drapery rod and brackets to match the bedroom walls, and let dry. Install the brackets above the bed, positioning them at the desired height, and put the rod in place. Drape the quilt over the rod, lining up the bottom edges so that it hangs evenly.”-Marthastewart.com

    Dressing-up the curtains.

    Another bright idea! Clothespins to hang towels.
    “We always knew clothespins were useful, but updated versions of this laundry room staple provide pretty storage solutions.  Mounted to the wall (as shown here), clothespins keep bright and bold towels off the floor and in plain view.” -BHG.com

    Pet friendly kitchens.
    “A corner message center in this kitchen works well for the homeowners and their four-legged friends. A convenient chalkboard makes it easy to leave reminders for the whole family. Below the message center, a shelf houses dog food and water bowls, and baskets below stash toys.” - BHG.com
