Some turquoise earrings - just one large bead for each. |
Here's another new craft I've recently picked up. My neighbor happens to know a lot about jewelry-making, something I've always been too intimidated to try. After she boosted my confidence by helping me make a simple pair of earrings, I bought a couple simple tools, some wire, and off I went! First, I made a few more pairs of earrings, then a necklace for my mom for Mother's Day. Of course I forgot to take some photos of that before I gave it to her, but here's a few photos of some other projects I've done since then.
Materials:
flat-nosed pliers (chain plyers)
round-nosed pliers
small wire-cutter
20 gauge wire
beads
earring hooks
For some basic jewelry-making techniques, my friend taught me most of what I needed. Browsing through YouTube videos also helps. Any questions, let me know!
