Tutorials — Hazel & Agnes. DIY Braided Bead Necklace and Giveaway - The Happier Homemaker. If you follow me on Facbeook you know my four year old had a surgery yesterday to remove a congenital cyst from his neck. I very much appreciate all the kind words and prayers for my little man-it really mean so much to me to know there are others out there praying for him. This will be a slow week for me obviously project-wise, but I thought I would give a quick tutorial on how to make this pretty little beaded necklace that I used to sell in my jewelry shop on Etsy (which I have since closed.) I apologize for not having step by step pictures, I will try to be very thorough with my explanations, this is a beginner level necklace-very easy once you have your supplies laid out in front of you! To make this you’ll need glass seed beads, beading string, beading needle, chain, clasps, bead tips, a small set of pliers, and ring clasps.
I bought all of the supplies for this particular necklace in the Walmart craft section for about $10. Linking here: Whipperberry. DIY Fashion.

I’m the type of girl who has a real soft spot for earrings. bracelets and necklaces aren’t so much my thing but man can i collect some earrings (and a few cocktail rings). but inevitably i lose one of the pair and go searching throughout the house to find the little nook where my cats have hidden them. so last month when i saw blueprint’s fantastic story on creative jewelry storage i knew i had to try one of these. but when it came down to it i didn’t have drawers appropriate for the first project and the marble bust was a little too serious for me. so i figured the wine crate portion would be perfect. except that i didn’t have any wine crates handy so i looked around for what i did have handy. as it turned out i had a few extra ikea frames (the kind that are set in like shadowboxes) under our bed so i pulled them out and thought- perfect!
[stay tuned for the (belated, sorry) d*s diy contest announcement next week!] Graphic chevron accessories (from pasta) Lately I’ve been trying to incorporate more play into my adult life, but it can be hard to remember what “playing” in the childhood sense of the word feels like. I imagine it’s wonderful — the mind is open, fearless, non-judgmental and full of spontaneity. These are the qualities I’d like to bring back into all aspects of my life, and it’s exciting when you can observe these characteristics in other people’s work. Evie S. came up with the idea for this project while playing with her children.
She found the pattern of a few scattered penne intriguing and began tinkering with different elements. Have a DIY project you’d like to share? Read the full how-to after the jump!

DIY Project: Super Simple Knitted Bracelets. I love to knit, but I’m gunna be real: I’m no expert. Sure, I can knit a pretty long, beautiful scarf without too much error, but that’s basically the extent of my knitting ability. There are a few reasons for this. One: knitting, while extremely relaxing and fulfilling, does take some time.
Two: scarves, the one thing that I really know how to knit, are the one knitted object within my skill set that I would actually wear. I hardly ever wear hats, and even though I’d love the final product, I just don’t know if I’d have the patience to knit an entire blanket. For quite some time, I thought my rudimentary knowledge of knitting limited me to making potholders and scarves. Two weeks ago, however, while drafting my quick-start guide to knitting, I discovered one more thing that I can make somewhat competently — bracelets!

It’s funny how small the world can feel sometimes. During the D*S book tour, Amy and I had an early morning stop in DC at Politics & Prose that led to an unexpected reconnection.
Waking up over donuts and coffee with our crafting group, I recognized a face that turned out to be a college classmate of mine! That classmate, Becca Kallem, is now an artist and art teacher in the DC area. In addition to being an artist in residence at the Arlington Arts Center, she also gives talks and teaches workshops across town. I created this project after being really intrigued and inspired by the eye miniatures at the Luce Foundation Center of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. I presented a talk and craft workshop at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC, and this project is adapted from the topics I covered in my class. The full project continues after the jump . . . Materials Instructions 1. 2. 3. 4. Becca Kallem is an artist and art teacher in the DC area. Pompearl Necklace Knockoff – Jewelry Week Tutorial.
