BEADED WRAP BRACELET DIY. This Beaded Wrap Bracelet DIY is a great way to reuse the beads from old necklaces or any odd beads you have lying around from other projects. (I used at least 3 old necklaces for this bracelet.) I feel invincible, like I have Wonder Woman’s gold cuff on! This Beaded Wrap Bracelet is so fun because it feels like a gauntlet on your arm.
You can adjust the wire to fit snugly or to be loose and dangle, its up to you. I like mine tight, it makes me feel invincible like I have Wonder Woman’s gold cuff on! Wire – I used 20 gauge (if you can find beads that fit on the larger 16 gage I’d recommend that, your bracelet will be more stiff, BUT mines still great on 20 gauge!) Step 1 Keeping your wire in the original coil, using your wire cutters count 10-12 rounds and cut. Step 2 Using your pliers bend one end of your wire into a small loop. Step 3 Start putting your beads on your wire. Or better yet, use memory wire. Step 4 Then if you need to you can re-coil your beaded wire. Wednes-DIY: Feather Hair Clips. There’s no question, we love the feather hair clip trend. It’s a great way to add a unique touch to a simple outfit and they are perfect accessories for summer festivals (like Outside Lands this weekend!).
I love the elegant and intricate ones I’ve been seeing around the web, and for today’s DIY project our Roosevelt field MIT, Kristina, shows you how to make your own feather hair clip! Once you get the hang of it this is something you can definitely experiment with, adding additional feathers or other elements like beads and charms. What you need: Two feathers of your choice, jewelry chain, 3 pieces of jewelry wire and a hair clip. (You can find fake feathers at arts and crafts stores.) Step One: Wrap wire around both feathers, leaving a little room at the top. Step 2: Use the remaining wire on each feather to wrap around chain in any place you want! Step 3: Take the rest of the jewelry wire and stick through the top of the chain. Thanks for sharing Kristina!
Easy Button Earrings Tutorial. Did you know...that you can make new earrings with a button and a paperclip? True story! I've been trying to think of a way for us to make some earrings without having to buy supplies. Buying the beads and all the findings can really add up. :o( Sad. But-oh, what? Walmart sells lots of pretty little buttons like this for less than $2. Excellent! That still leaves the findings. Clip the top of the paperclip off with wire cutters: Snap off the button shanks: Glue the paperclip to the back of the button. Open the loop at the bottom of your earring hook by bending it outward and hook it onto your paper clip.
And...pretty new earrings! Walmart was out of gold sparkly ones (I like gold.) but here are some cute ones I found on Walmart.com(about $1-$2): And some cute ones on Etsy: This Etsy shop has infinity cute buttons, you have to see it. (click photos to see where to buy them!) Of course, you may have some on hand just waiting to use! Hope you enjoy. Have a great Sunday! Have a great Monday!! Disney. BRAIDED HEX NUT BRACELET DIY. When I first saw this braided hex nut bracelet on Pinterest and I knew I had to make one. It’s a quick and easy project to make for less than $5 and looks great stacked with all your other bracelets. To see step by step instructions and photos click here.
StringHex Nuts (I used 18) Step 1 Cut 3 pieces of your string approximately 16 inches long (depending on the size of your wrist) and tie them together in a knot. I recommend taping the end to a table, this will make it much easier to work. Step 2 Braid for approximately 2 inches (mine is just under). If you dont have an assistant to help you put the hex nuts on your string, I recommend setting your hex nuts on their end and you will be able to thread them easier and with one hand as you hold your braid tight with the other. Step 3 After you braid in all but one of your hex nuts continue to braid just the string for another 2 inches (approx). iLoveToCreate: Burnt Offerings Decoupage Necklace.
iLoveToCreate Retrofabulous CraftsBurnt Offerings Decoupage NecklaceMargot Potter In 2009 I published a book called Beyond the Bead. It is by far my favorite book. I had a blast making beads and components out of all sorts of wonderful things I found in the aisles at the craft and hardware stores. One of the projects in the book used old book pages, wooden craft stars and a wood burning tool to create the look of aged and burned charms. I loved making it, I love wearing it and I thought I'd share it with you. I've seen some similar projects making the rounds on Pinterest, but this is my version from a few years ago.

Delightfully Tacky: DIY // Faux Flower Crown. I love flower crowns. The only thing I don't like about flower crowns is how they get all wilted by the end of the day. Solution? Faux flower crown. All the flower crown goodness without the mortality of real flowers. I actually wanted to wear a flower crown for my wedding at one time, and if it had been in the summer and outside, I probably would've.
What you'll need: Faux Flowers Wire (I got mine in the floral section w/ a natural covering on it, so it's easier for the tape to stick to) Floral Tape Scissors 1. 2. 3. 4. There ya go! Mod Podged Resin Bangle. Stamped Resin Bangle for CraftsUnleashed.com So, my “Stamped Resin Bangles” went up on CraftsUnleashed.com yesterday, and I was pretty pleased with the results. It’s a stamped-and-painted paper strip that’s then decoupaged into the resin form that comes from ConsumerCrafts.com. (See the full tutorial HERE.) Of course, when you are designing crafts for an international craft-supply company, you use only what they carry, right?
However, after I created the craft using their products, I started rummaging around my studio for other ways to trick out these bangles. I pulled out some Magenta “Peel Offs” stickers, some origami paper, and some Precious Metals Paints by Viva Decor and come up with another version . I found that true origami paper- the stuff with the high linen content- takes very well to the Mod Podge.
Bangles made with Origami Paper I am totally in love with the black Magenta Paisley stickers, so I used them in this duo- a ring AND a bangle! DIY Steampunk Gears Necklace. I have always been obsessed with watches, clocks, and gears, so when "steampunk" jewelry started to come into style, I was enthralled. I had found a small package of these thin gear shaped metal pieces at Michael's and just had to have them.
They sat in one of my craft supplies boxes for a few months while I thought long and hard about what to do with them. I bought some actual watch gears as well and added them to my box. A long time friend, Jolee, and I, had a craft night a couple months ago and came up with the idea to make necklace pendants using the gears. This necklace was the result: This necklace is not difficult to make. Materials: - Thin metal gear pieces (the ones in the photo range from about 1/3 inch to 1 inch. . - Chain (between 14 and 24 inches depending on how long you want the necklace to be. . - Toothpick or other pointed object to apply and remove excess glue Directions: Step 1: Lay out your large gears in a formation that you like on a large piece of paper.

DIY Chevron Leather Cuff. 10 Ways to Easily Upcycle Vintage Rhinestone Earrings. I found these large vintage rhinestone earrings on Ebay for under $5, but I’m 100% sure my local thrift shops have a nice little collection and yours would too. I bet you could also find some in your Grandma’s jewelry box, if she’ll part with them! Since they’re clip-ons, and clip-ons never seem to say clipped onto my little lobes, I thought I’d upcycle them in a number of ways to show you just how versatile they are as well as adding that extra something to brighten up a plain object, giving it a really unique vintage flair. * Beading Pliers* Wire cutters* Hot glue gun First things first… let’s remove the earring backs. * Using your pliers, bend the clip on metal piece up, and using your wire cutters, snip them off at the base.
Now we’re left with two gorgeous vintage rhinestone findings… imagine the possibilities! Here’s what I came up with… 1. . * Simply hot-glue your shoe clips onto the backs of your rhinestone clusters. 2. 3. . * Glue them onto an old bangle or bendable cuff. 4. 5. 6. DIY Braided Hex Nut Bracelet. We’re nuts for nuts. Is there a more versatile and inexpensive DIY component than a hex nut from the hardware store? You can imagine our excitement when we first discovered Philip Crangi’s Giles & Brother Hex Collection. Honestly, nuts braided into jewelry is WTF genius! With a few items that we always seem to have lying around, we tackled the technique and made our own spine-like braided hex nut wrap bracelet.
You’ll need:3 strands of cotton butcher’s twine cut into one yard pieces18 small brass hex nutsa bit of dexterity! Gather the 3 strands of twine and tie a knot at the top, leaving about 2 inches of slack. Keep your thumb at the base of the braid, holding the nut in its place. Repeat the steps, by threading the rest of the nuts to the outer pieces of twine before they are crossed over. The bracelet should wrap around your wrist at least two or three times. Good luck!!

One necklace that really wowed me was Helen of Troy, by French beader Anneta Valious. Not only is it luxe and gorgeous, but it uses a technique I’d never seen before. Helen of Troy, by Anneta Valious Back at home, I found Anneta’s website, clicked through it, and discovered she describes her designs as being soutache jewelry. That still didn’t tell me much. I resolved to find out more and emailed the artist, proposing to share this technique with all of you. She accepted.
Anneta in Barcelona. What is soutache? Soutache is a type of trim or gimp, and more specifically a flat braid with a groove down the center. Can you describe your soutache jewelry technique? This method allows for many design possibilities. Arabesques earrings How did you learn this technique? I started by learning beadweaving and bead embroidery. Where do you sell your work?

Here’s the second DIY I led with with BurdaStyle direct from the MAGIC floor. We did these bracelets on Wednesday, the final day of the show. It was a perfect project to wrap-up with because it was fast and easy.
I think we were all feeling a little bit like the walking dead after spending the 4 days running around Las Vegas 20 hours a day. Photo courtesy BurdaStyle The supplies are simple: chain + ribbon. We used 11mm gunmetal curb chain M&J Trim, though my all-time favorite chain of this size and style is found at Michael’s. For each bracelet you’ll need about 6″ of chain and 16″ of ribbon. Sidenote: Do you guys know about Fray Check? The last step it to clip off the (fraying) ends of ribbon at an angle and apply Fray Check.
