Here are some jewelry crafts ideas
that could help you to find a craft to do or spark a new idea
that you may never have thought of.
Beading is perhaps the most used
medium for jewelry crafts. You can find beads in any shape or
color for your specific jewelry craft. When you are beading you
can use fine wire, small elastic or different pieces of metal to
create your jewelry crafts. Some of the different things you can
do with beading include:
· Necklaces-These can be done
in one strand necklaces or a multiple strand necklaces. You can
use big beads or smaller beads depending on what you want the
finished product to look like.
· Bracelets-these too can be
done in one strand or multiple strands. There are also patterns
you can find for more intricate jewelry designs for bracelets.
· Earrings-You can make dangled
earrings with a few beads hanging. You can also make hoop
earrings with the hoop full of beads or just a few beads.
· Rings-You can make rings to
fit any finger or toe that you would like. You can also use a
mix of big and little beads around your ring.
· Anklets-These can be made
about the same way as the bracelets if you choose. You can also
use some heavier gauge fine wire to give the anklet some support
to wrap around your ankle better.
· Headband-Use beads or jewels
and sew them onto some of your plain headbands. YOU can also use
iron on gems found in craft stores to add an extra touch to
patterned headbands.
· Shirts-Again you can sew on
gems or jewels onto any shirt.
· Wine glass charms-These can
be made like earrings. You can also find patterns to use for
particular designs such as a grape for your wine charm.
· Handbags-You can use wine
charms to add to the side or zipper of any purse or handbag.
· Cell phone charms-These
little charms can dangle from the cell phones antennae. You can
use wine charm patterns or just use a long line of beads that
can dangle from your cell phone.
· Beaded tiara-You can use a
heavier gauge wire to bend and shape a tiara and add beads for
the decoration of the tiara.
· Lampshades-You can decorate
plain lampshades with some beads that hang down from the
lampshade or use the beads directly on the lampshade for a nice
3 dimensional effect.
· Napkin rings-Decorate your
holiday table with napkin rings made of beads and ribbon. These
can be made like you do the necklaces or bracelets and then wrap
around your cloth napkins. For an added touch you can sew some
beads onto the cloth napkins to match your napkin rings.
You can also make any of these
previous crafts with clay. Follow the directions that come with
the clay you are using. You can make clay shapes to suit your
particular taste or style. You can also use the colors that you
want to use to match a jacket or shirt of your choosing. When
using clay you can also add beads or other gems to your jewelry
crafts to make them unique.
Another popular crafting medium
is the use of bottle caps. Once again you can make just about
any of the previously stated crafts with bottle caps. You can
make a brooch out of bottle caps too; you could glue a picture
or special item to the inside of the bottle cap and then glue a
small safety pin to the back of the bottle cap.
Jewelry craft ideas should be
anything that you can think of. Let your mind wander and you
could have the next big idea for jewelry craft ideas.
