    Pearls, Stones and Crystals for Simplified Gift Giving

    Hi there! I wanted to share some photos from a recent craft night I attended with some friends and family. Each participant brings materials for everyone and teaches a new craft. I wanted to take a simple jewelry project so there would be time to make earrings and possibly even a second bracelet if the design process went quickly. I typically take a finished piece as a prototype and then provide variations in color for each person. This allows everyone to actually design their jewelry rather than just assemble a piece of jewelry.

    I love how they all turned out and each one is different. We used some simple glass pearls I found recently at the Meijer grocery/department store and when paired with a focal stone and some crystal accents on memory wire, I think they all turned out great. If you have a number of gifts to make this season, these come together quickly and look quite nice when packaged up with a pair of earrings.
