Make pie chart paper pendants

Make pie chart paper pendants
If charts, graphs and metrics are your thing, you might enjoy crafting some pie chart pendants. They're made entirely of paper. Oh, and a little glue, thread and a jump ring if you want to get technical. Which you probably do, if you're the kind of person who likes pie charts. With a punch (I used a 1" circle), cut out about 12 circles of cardstock. You can add as many circles to the pendant as needed to get the thickness you want, of course. Glue the circles into a stack one at a time. Double a small length of thread and tie it to a jump ring. Cut some wedges of colored paper for the top layer and glue them on. To seal it, you can brush it with polycrylic or Triple Thick. The little DIY color-blocked necklaces are cute and light-weight.

Adult Friendship Bracelets | Shades of Tangerine Most third grade girls will tell you what embroidery thread is used for- friendship bracelets. As a kid, I spent a good amount of summer vacation with embroidery thread safety pinned to the knee of my jeans. I was happy to see it making a comeback this spring on clothing, accessories and jewelry. I salvaged this tangled chain belt and a bag of white plastic rings from a bin at the thrift store to transform into unique new jewelry with the embroidery thread I've been collecting for craft projects. I wove thread around the plastic rings with a segment of chain to make necklace charms and strung them onto a longer piece of chain with a few of the rings left over from the belt. The bracelet was made by weaving thread in different ways through the chains with a needle and adding a dab of super glue to the ends to hold it in place. Three segments were linked with a loop and a few random charms I had from other projects.

Birdhouse Art to Wear: An Easy Mixed-Media Jewelry Project - Cloth Paper Scissors Today My husband and I have an arrangement when it comes to home improvement projects: he does all the building and I do all the decorating. Seems fair, no? So when I spied these adorable Chirpy Birdhouse Pendants on the cover of Handcrafted Jewelry magazine (a special issue from the editors of Beadwork), I immediately sidled up to him, directions in hand.
