I had a few friends over the other day and we had a craft night. It is so fun to get a few minds together and see what can be made.
Our first project was a black and gold chain necklace with ribbon ties.
One of my friends is new to the jewelry world, so I had her pick out a few matching chains and I did the rest.
This necklace is very easy.
Measure out the same length of chain many times. Gather them together with a large jump ring and tie a ribbon around that jump ring. (I ended this one with a clasp because we were running low on ribbon.)
Blue Moon Beads offers an excellent source of different colors of chain.
You could take this simple idea that even a newbie jewelry maker could handle and run with it!
She said it was "H&M worthy".
Making something is exciting and new, but most of all, it's something to be proud of. Needless to say, my newbie jeweler friend wanted to make more.
Sticking with the black and gold theme, we found some more chain and whipped together a bracelet to match the awesome necklace we made.
Same general idea.
Measure out chain, lots of it. Gather it into a large jump ring then braid it. When you are done, gather the lose braided ends with about jump ring and add on a clasp.
I love the chunky look.
Give this project a try. Let me know how it goes.
Let your creativity soar!
