Faux turquoise tutorial... Hi friends – we made it through Monday, Yay! Today was the first time in over a year that I had the house all to myself. It felt a little quiet and lonely, but perfect for crafting and just catching up on house work. I also managed to put together a tutorial of a little project I did over the weekend. On our recent trip to Mexico, hubby bought me some beautiful silver and turquoise jewelry. Mexico is well known for its turquoise and silver, but as usual, you have to be careful of impostor jewelry. There are various ways to tell real turquoise from fake, but as technology advances so does the ability for manufacturers to make very realistic looking turquoise. Materials polymer clay: turquoise, ultra marine, white, gold, black grater or blade cabochon or ring blank 1. 2. freezer to harden. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. The bracelet is the real thing and the ring is the brand new faux piece. Here are some other turquoise jewelry with I love the way it turned out. Related June 24, 2015 June 7, 2012
- Dream a Little Bigger Craft Blog - Chains & Pearls Bracelet DIY I really, really like going to the hardware store. My favorite section is definitely the paint section. I tend to consider the style of my home as “minimalist but comfy contemporary”. But whenever I get to go to the hardware store to accompany someone who will be doing actual work i.e. repairing the water heater, replacing rotten wood on the exterior, repairing a monstrously huge hole in my bedroom ceiling… I like to wander. On one of these trips I had to hang out near the cart, because Russell gets terribly upset if I try to wander. For this project you will need: You may want to know exactly what this type of chain is called and the sad truth is that I don’t have a clue. Take your chain and wrap it around your wrist. Take your first jump ring and wrap the wire around several times. Thread the wire through the first of your links until the jump ring catches. Thread your first bead onto the wire and push so that it kind of nests into the first loop on the first chain.
Braided Chain Bracelet | CrapAtCrafts | I like a thicker chain bracelet: something substantial but also super simple. Chain maille is great for that, with a wide variety of potential patterns. However it takes a while to master & put together, and also involves a lot of fiddly dropping-of-links, swearing, and crawling around on the floor to pick up tiny bits of metal. I’ve seen some examples of braiding chain with chord or beads, but I wondered about braiding chain-with-chain . . . I took three 9-inch lengths of chain and slipped them onto a jump ring, with the silver chain in the middle: Now: if you have a hook to put the jump ring on, that would be good. Once I got to the end, I slipped another jump ring through the three ends & added a fastening: I liked the little hint of silver amongst the gold, though I also just liked the simplicity of all one color . . . In terms of sizing, if you have 9-inch strands of chain, you will end up with a roughly 8-inch finished braid. Love, Em.
Wire Wrapped Agate Cuff Bracelet I love jewelry projects. Seriously love them. Especially bracelets (gee, have you noticed?? LOL). The things is, I can’t help looking at it and seeing all the room I have for improvement. This bracelet took me closer to 90 minutes than my standard hour-or-less, but as far as supplies go and the process itself, it’s actually quite simple. Two gauges of silver plated copper wire. I made adjustments as I worked and I will note those in the post. First things first – the cuff itself. You don’t need to do anything fancy to connect the two ends. Now, cut off a length of wire that you think you can easily work with. The reason you want to start out at the center is because it’s easy to begin wrapping too tightly, and your bracelet can start getting squeezed smaller. Once you’ve wrapped far enough to get to the outside edge of your bead, do the same thing with the other end of the wire so that both ends are securely wrapped onto the frame. Do this a couple times.
Lyrical Cuff | Pops de Milk You ever wake up with a tune deeply stuck in your head? You keep humming it and even though at first you weren’t crazy about it you eventually start thinking, “Hm, this song is actually quite beautiful and well put together.” This is what’s been happening to me for the past four days. I have had Dark Paradise stuck in my head. One morning I woke up as usual silently singing, “Every time I close my eyes…” when I thought of a new cool (and quick!) With the chorus from Dark Paradise on it. It was Saturday morning and Jay was still sleeping – was only 7 o’clock. -Lyrics from a song you love. -Vinyl fabric 8.5″ by 11″. -Program of your choice ie. -A laserjet printer because that’s what I have and I’m not sure which other printers will work for this project. -Snaps -Needle and thread to sew the snaps on. -Rubbing alcohol and cotton swab – in case you make a smudge. First you need to know that your printer will not break if you feed it vinyl. Success! Mark where you want the cuff to close.

DIY Twig Bracelet | Popsicles & Pinatas I really enjoyed making my twig necklace so while I was out walking the dog I picked up a couple more twigs to make into bracelets. Here is the super easy tutorial if you want to make some of your own. For this project you will need a long twig or small branch. You want to pick one that has fallen off recently so that it is bit bendy still. You will also need String Something to wrap the twig around. Some paint (optional) I used Martha Stewart all-purpose craft paint in gold, light and med pink Step 1 – Soak your twigs in hot water for at least 2 hours. Step 2 – Leave the wrapped twigs on your bottle to dry out. They will spring out a little bit when you take them off which is why you want to start with something just a bit smaller than your wrist. Step 3 – (Optional) Give them some paint. That’s it! Michelle Like this: Like Loading...
Super Stylish, Super Easy Memory Wire Bracelet Hi! Vicki here, I posted this project on my blog quite a while ago and thought I’d share it with our Crafts Unleashed readers too. This is a great craft for day camps, summer camps, art camp or VBS for the older girls in the group. Remember that small beads post a choking hazard so keep them away from the “littles”. Here are some of the Supplies you might use: Memory Wire bracelets have to be THE EASIEST piece of jewelry to make and probably the easiest piece to WEAR as well. I used round nose pliers to round one end of the memory wire. Also, you can put a dab of jewelry glue at the end of the wire to hold the first bead on OR there are also screw on ends for memory wire. I randomly added beads until the wire was full and I curled the other end. Great stocking stuffer, last minute gift and a great accessory for the flower girl in a wedding too! About Vicki Google+
