Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a wonderfully crafty Saturday! Since this site includes all types of crafters and for some reason I think it's my mission to convert non-beaders into beaders, I wanted to post a couple more jewelry pieces that can be made by anyone (no beading skills required).

I just made the blue one below last night after making a trip to our local Michael's store. The large hoops are acrylic and the small discs are glass. The only tool you need with this project is a pair of pliers if your fingers are senstive. These silver jump rings are so large I was able to open and close them with my fingers. I just added a magnetic clasp to the end jump rings for ease in getting the bracelt on and off. (Yes, it does sort of want to stick to the metal ring, but I get a kick out of that).



I made the bracelet below last year around this time just for something fun and funky to wear with a particular outfit. The funny thing about this bracelet is I was making in a dimly lit room with the beads on my lap and didn't realize until it was done that the wooden beads I was using were purple, not brown. I thought it turned out great with the purple and is something I wouldn't normally have done. I did hang a bunch of dangles off this one using head pins, but that isn't absolutely necessary. The only tool again would be a pair of pliers to finish off the memory wire.


I hope I have convinced at least one of you to think about making a fun piece of summer jewelry, you can do it!
