Aquamarine...

I LOVE aquamarine, it's so pretty, it reminds me of the ocean. So when I went to the Rockhounds Pow Wow last week I decided to buy a piece of aquamarine. And with that little piece I thought it would be perfect on a ring. I LOVE it. I almost, almost want to keep it for myself...maybe.

Just a Seashell

I have been super excited of all the wonderful rocks that i've bought the other day at the Rockhound's Pow Wow and so i've been busy at work trying to invision the identities of these beauties. So far here is one of the shells that i've wire wrapped :)

DIY Chain Bracelet

I came across a picture of a similar bracelet on Pinterest and I thought, "hey, I can make one!". So I went to Walmart and bought some chain, a strand of rhinestones, ,and some leather cord (I already had the white cording). All in all I think I spent about $7 and have enough to make another one. I didn't take pictures of every step but I hope I can walk you through it it's very simple, I promise!

Materials:
  • two pieces of chain the length that it takes to go around your wrist
  • one strand of rhinestones the same length as your chain
  • enough leather cording so you can weave it in and out of one of the chains
  • enough white cording so you can wrap around the rhinestones
  • clasps of your choice
  • two jump rings
  • two rhinestone end clasps
  • pliers
(The clasps, jump rings, and the end clasps for the rhinestone strand all came with the chain and rhinestone strand that I bought.)

I weaved the leather cording through one of the chain pieces then I laid all three pieces next to each other and then took my white cording and started to wrap the rhinestone strand to both pieces of chain. Then tie a knot on both of the cords and then using pliers open up the jump rings and put one on each end and put in your closures in  and using your pliers again close the jump rings and ta da! You have a cool new bracelet!

Wire Wrapped Nest Ring

Have you seen these floating around bloggland? I think they are super cute, and seemed really easy to make! so of course I gave it a shot. I went out to Wally World and bought some jewelry wire for only a  buck! and started to form a ring! I think it turned out pretty good for my first attempt. I'm going to keep trying to make it better, but for now I'm excited to have made a ring all by myself! And all I needed was some pliers, wire, and a bead! The total cost of this project was $1!!! I already had the bead and pliers and I only used about half of the wire so I have plenty left over to make myself another one!
