Sometimes it's fun to look back on old blog posts to see what I've done in the past...because there's no way I could remember most of my adventures if they weren't photographed and written about! Today I was looking at all of the ways I've made jewelry and thought I'd sum it up some of my favorites here.
Who would’ve thought that from magazine pages I could make my own jewelry? I had no clue until I saw a post describing how to do just that at Hip 2 B Mom.
I loved that this was a craft that I could do at random parts of the day or while watching a show, and if I had to pause to do something else, they are easy to pick right back up…
All you need is a toothpick, a magazine with colorful pictures and a glue stick!
Since getting my ears pierced, I’ve started looking for ways I can add to my earring collection without breaking the bank. When I saw Evie S’s earrings I knew I had to make my own version…heart shaped earrings from a paper clip. These are perfect for Valentine’s Day coming up or just for a fun accessory on a random day :)
The best part of these earrings? They are made from a paper clip and thread…things almost everyone has lying around!
I am officially on Pinterest and while there fell in love with the bracelets I found here. Who knew forks could look so pretty?!
Anyhow, I wanted one of my own and decided to try making a fork bracelet…turns out it’s not terribly hard, though I admit I am lacking in all of the tools that could make my bracelet as pretty as the one that inspired it.
I took a regular fork (that obviously wouldn’t be too hard to bend), and used a hammer and pliers to pound the fork around a sturdy metal pole. This allowed the fork to be bent smoothly without as many kinks.
Once most of the fork was bent to the shape and size I wanted I bent the tines into the shape I wanted with my pliers and voila! All I had to do was use a dremmel tool to polish off the rough edges from the pliers and I had my own custom made bracelet made from, of all things, a fork.
