Fun Gifts To Create
As the holidays get closer, we know there will be some people we want to give presents to.If you are on a tight budget, what can you give? Well, you can make them a gift!
One thing you can make is jewelry. It lasts longer than homemade cookies and perhaps even costs less.Two easy kinds of jewelry to create are memory wire bracelets and beaded earrings. Earrings are usually cheaper to make as there are less beads involved.If you shop well, acrylic beads for making bracelets can be quite affordable.Matching jewelry sets are appreciated by many people! So lets go over how to make jewelry!
Getting Started
First you need to get supplies.Craft stores like ArtBeads, Micheals, and Joanns should carry everything you need. For either project you need: beads, round nose pliers and wire cutters. For earrings you will also want earwires, headpins and tweezers; for bracelets, you need memory wire. Many people will make both and then mix and match as appropriate.
Realize that nicer beads creates better looking jewelry.Inexpensive earthstone, pearl or glass beads can look very fashionable.
Making The Jewelry
Both types of jewelry need loops to be created.Use your round nose pliers to create these.Wirecutters make trimming off extra wire a snap.
For earrings: add beads to each headpin, close off headpin with a loop and attach the loop to the earwires’ loop.
For bracelets: start by making a loop at the end of the wire. Add your beads to the wire to your desired length. Close off the memory wire with a loop when you are finished.
Nice Touches
Putting the earrings on cardboard or a blank business card makes them look more professional. Having the earrings or bracelet in a small plastic baggie helps make certain that the beautiful jewelry won’t be damaged.Nice cardboard jewelry boxes or pouches make your gift look even nicer.
Enjoy giving these great gifts!
