Colored Wire Swirly Cuff Bracelet

Can I say I'm  in LOVE with these colors! They are so bright and happy! I think for my first attempt at a cuff I think I did pretty good, although I think next time i'll use thicker wire.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Today I wanted to say Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband!!

Pearl Bead Dangle Earrings

I've made rings, bracelets, and a necklace; but I hadn't made a pair of earrings so I had to fix that ASAP! I made the earring loops (I can't remember what they're called, the part you stick into your ear), the jump rings, and I made the pearl bead into a charm onto the earring. I think they turned out pretty good!

DIY Bracelet Display Holder


Since i've already made a necklace display and a ring display, I of course had to make a bracelet display! It was super easy! This is what I did.

Materials:
  •  empty paper towel roll
  • pretty fabric three inches wider than your paper towel roll
  • fabric three inches wider than your paper towel roll (this will be wrapped around the paper towel roll to give it some padding)
  • scrap pieces of fabric
  • hot glue/hot glue gun
  • felt
  • scissors
  • candle stick

find yourself a paper towel roll!

now stuff the roll with scrap fabric

cover the roll in the first layer of fabric, to give it some padding. Remember to hot glue the seam together! Then stuff the ends into the tube

now cover the roll in your pretty fabric and hot glue the seam together. Now you just wrap the ends up like you would a present.
now you just cut a small piece of felt and glue it onto the candle stick and then glue on the fabric roll. TA DA!! You now have your very own bracelet display holder!!!

DIY Frame Ring Display Holder

Since I've been making a lot of rings lately I stumbled upon a small problem, I had no cute ring holder that I could easily display my rings on. I mean yes I had some bowls and plates, but I wanted cute, and I mean super cute (of course why would I settle for less, right?) and I wasn't about to spend a lot of money at the store for a pre-made ring holder that wasn't exactly what I was looking for (i'm just a tad bit picky I guess). So what did I do?? I googled it! and I stumbled upon this blog here, she has an amazing tutorial. So instead of trying to re-word her tutorial on how to make it i'm just going to have you look at hers. I obviously didn't follow it exactly because I used a frame not a box, but you can use anything you want to turn into a ring holder. In the end I made the perfect ring holder display and it didn't cost me a thing!
