Easy DIY Jewelry

Are you intimidated by jewelry making? I am! Or rather I was; after reading through these post (links below) I really think I can do it! Now I just have to find the time.




Bracelet Tutorial

 Simply lovely!  I have a seven year old that would love to make this for mom for Mother's Day! Yes a seven year old made this, you can too! Find the DIY how to's at The DIY Dreamer.

This sweet little ribbon bracelet is charming! Bowdabra Blog has a very good tutorial and it looks very easy. I know I could make this one.

Bowdabra Blog also made this Beaded Pearl Bracelet. Pretty!

 This one is really fun yet still simple to make. Head over to The Jewelry Making Journal for instructions.
Chain Bead Earrings Tutorial

 Look at these ear rings! Simple and elegant, and again, The DIY Dreamer has a wonderful tutorial to show you the steps.
Charm Holder Pendant Tutorial by Rena Klingenberg

 This one is harder, but look at how beautiful!  It only takes a few learned skills to accomplish it and will find the tutorials for the necessary skills at The Jewelry Making Journal. Well worth learning!

 Any pre-teen or teen will love this type of jewelry and you will be a hit with them if you learn how to make it. Actually  I would like to have some of this myself and can think of several ways to use this idea in crafting other than jewelry. This necklace uses the technique of stamping the metal and I really want to learn to do it! Perhaps I could buy the necessary tools for hubbs as a gift....hmmm..;) He needs a new hobby!

    Thank you for sharing two of our Bowdabra jewelry tutorials! We love combining beads & ribbon! We often even find ways to add a Bowdabra bow to them. Wishing you a crafty day! Bowdabra

    I have never wanted to make jewelry because I thought I would spend too much on tools and stuff. But it's tempting....very tempting! Thanks for the links! I LOVE wearing it...and buying it! lol

    They are all super pretty! My daughter who is 5 just started her business, making bracelets and necklaces with beads and pipe cleaners. :) She's going to sell them at a fundraiser at school. It's never to early to start!

    I would love to make jewelery but am, as you said, a bit intimidated. I'd love to make myself some earrings or a bracelet. Thanks for sharing the links and thanks so much for linking up to the "Making Your Home Sing Monday" linky party today! :)

    Very fun! I haven't really made any jewelry myself besides the yarn and noodle fare that I've helped the kids with. These are fabulous project ideas! Thanks so much for sharing with us :) Krista @ A Handful of Everything

    Beautiful Jewelry! I'm most creative in the garden so I'm not sure I could make such cute pieces without serious help.
    Thanks for sharing at The Creative HomeAcre. Hope to see you again this week!
