More Jewelry Fun: Earrings!

Sometimes you just get in those crafty moods. I made a few new pairs of earrings out of buttons, stone beads and peacock feathers. I also thought I'd try a little bit of hemp bracelet and necklace stuff, hopefully I can get a whole bunch of this stuff done and go to a craft fair.

Dragonfly Pin

This is super simple. Just a bottle cap with 2 holes for places to feed the bead wire. Attach to a safety pin and add a decoration to the center. I had a nice dragonfly piece that fit it perfectly. And there you go!

Hooray for Recycled!

I found this broken brick outside of my high school, and decided that it wasn't totally useless yet. A quick paint job made this an excellent bookend that adds a mix of industrial and artistic style to the area.



Bottles are a kind of obvious recycled craft to do, but that doesn't take away any of the fun of doing it! Here are some ideas for other things to recycle into crafts. This necklace is made of can tabs that I kept finding (mostly thanks to a NOS binge), rainbow hemp and a pretty snail pendent. (snails are kind of my thing). This is a super easy wearable craft, and I love it!

Jewelry Fun

Jewelry making is one of my favorite small craft hobbies. There's just something about art you can wear that's just so appealing. I had a wonderful old key that I could use in a billion different crafts. But because, for some reason, these are hard to come by, I didn't want to just stick it to something I would never really see again. So I incorporated it into a necklace, and now it can come along with me everywhere.
