Sharing Some Sparkle!
November 24, 2011 by Bobbi
The Christmas season is upon us, and everywhere I look I’m seeing lots of SPARKLE! Christmas trees are up in the malls, houses are lit up with Christmas lights, and the snow is even extra “sparkly”! So, I’m about to join in the sparkling fun with 10 easy jewelry how-tos from I Share Crafts! Yes, ladies, we are about to get our “bling” on! Woot, woot! I Share is bursting with jewelry tutorials…honestly, there will be something for everyone if you take a look. Oh, and if you are still working on getting people crossed off your Christmas list, why not add a little homemade touch to your gift giving? They’ll love it. Okay, let’s get going!
Blue Cricket Designs shares a few different ways to turn some regular trim into some blinged-out bracelets!
Can you believe that you can MAKE one of these gorgeous button bib necklaces? Just follow the simple how-t0 from The Scrap Shoppe and you’ll be sporting one of these before you know it!
Okay, I’ll let you in. I have ALWAYS wanted to know how to make these gorgeous ric rac rosettes. Have you been seeing these all over the place? I finally found a tutorial that is easy to follow from The Crafting Chicks! Now, I can sport one of these babies in EVERY color!
Did you know you can even bling the bra? Seriously. I’m not sure why, but I really want to make these beaded bra straps. LOL! Check out MeiJo’s awesome tutorial
6. Recycled Collar Cuff Bracelet
The gals over at Dollar Store Crafts have transformed a simple polo shirt collar into a trendy cuff bracelet! Check out their how-to!
I know we have all seen these glass beads, and have used them in vases, or made magnets out of them, but why not make a gorgeous bead necklace? Madigan Made walks us through each and every step so we can make our very own! I can see one of these in every one of my “happy” colors!
Michelle has shared how simple it is to make this gorgeous, eclectic braided bracelet out of things you might just have laying around the house. Bring on the bling!!
Isn’t this gorgeous? Make some bling that will really stand out using some RIBBON! I’ve got scads of ribbon around here….Christmas gift, anyone?
Speaking of Christmas…I know my kiddos would love a personalized bottle cap necklace like these ones from The Craft Nest. Another fantastic tutorial!
If you love these jewelry crafts and want to make your own, you should check out Pick Your Plum for each daily “pick”. You can get some seriously great deals on crafting supplies. I love homemade projects so much more when I know I have saved a lot of money on them
I’d love to see photos of your sparkly creations, too! Leave a comment with a link, or submit your tutorials to I Share Crafts so we ALL can enjoy them
