Creating Your Own Jewelry
by: Sintilia Miecevole
Do you have a better way to accessorize yourself than with a nice piece of
jewelry? The problem is that sometimes costume jewelry can also be extremely
expensive. Nevertheless, you have another alternative to buying them you can
make them. It is easy to learn how to create your own jewelry. And sometimes it
is even better than buying them because you can make them to match your outfits
and your personality. This way you are not only going to save money, you are
also going to have fun.
Are you interested in making necklaces? The simplest way to do this is using
beads. You will see that you can create a variety of beautiful necklaces just
using some heavy string and a various beads of different colors. In the case you
are going to cover the whole circumference with beads you may even substitute
the heavy string by a dental floss. You should always bear in mind what are you
going to wear the necklace with. This way you can compliment the color of the
necklace with the color of the dress you are wearing. Once you know the colors,
you should start thinking about the pattern, which can be achieved by
alternating colors or shapes, or making all of the beads the same size and
color.
The most important thing at the moment of making your necklace is to be
creative. But you should not forget to keep the theme in mind when you start
making it. When you go to buy beads you can buy the ones you always use plus
some focal point beads that are bigger that the rest. These bigger beads can be
use when you choose to employ wire instead of string for your necklace, just one
or two beads for the whole piece are enough and the wire show through. Usually
you can choose from a great variety of attractive beads, such as wooden, ceramic
and glass pieces.
If you are thinking of making beads, you have a lot to do. You only need beads
and wire to make a great variety of rings. What you have to do is to twist
various strands of wire together making a circle that fits your finger. You have
to remember to maintain the ends long in order to string beads on the edges.
Just make a ball of wire to maintain the final bead on each strand in its place
and then keep the beaded strands as individuals strands or twist them into a
ball. And use it with whatever you want!
Another option is to make earrings. It is not difficult because the majority of
craft stores sell earring components that can be used right away; the only thing
you have to do is add the decorations that you choose. You can buy almost twenty
pairs of earrings for no more than three dollars. You can also include some
ribbons or a strand of beads. Just be creative and you will be able to attend
any party.
Similar techniques can be used to create bracelets and anklets. You have just to
twist together bare wire and beaded wire to make a nice combination or create
attractive wire shapes with just a pair of needle-nosed pliers. You only need to
include a nice object that fits and make some loops in the wire and create your
own charm bracelet.
It does not matter whether you are a teenager or an adult, you can have a lot of
fun making jewelry. It is also a great activity for whole families and a
creative way to entertain girls at a birthday party. It is a nice way to create
the pieces of jewelry that go with the things you wear. What is more important
in creating your own jewelry is that it is a real expression of your creative
side.
