Jewelry Making Projects

I am more of a jewelry maker than a card maker or art journaler, so I admit I didn't initially realize how useful the Book of Templates could be to my preferred medium of jewelry. Once I framed my thinking differently, a world of possibilities opened up...

I love putting together soldered slide images! A simple sentiment and some patterned paper transform these glass slides into tiny pieces of art. Mothers will love the personalized touch to these simple framed works of art. Inspired by Mom Soldered...

This new tree branch charm by Tim Holtz is a jewelry maker’s dream. It is an elegant design with an expensive looking finish. It also has holes at the end of each branch, but they blend seamlessly into the twigs so that they don’t look like a...

Roses are a timeless favorite of mine. I'll take them in any color, but I've always loved them in a good cheery pink. I would dress head-to-toe in this color if it suited me, but my dark olive skin just doesn't work that well with too much rosy pink...

I’ve been seeing pin after pin on Pinterest of dried flowers in resin, and I’ve been dying to try it out. For this project, I preserved dried chamomile in resin with one of our open-backed bezels. I also paired it with some rustic cording and...

Have you ever embarked on a project, only to find that it is taking twice as long as you thought it would? That is the case with this “simple” paper bead necklace. I figured I would make a few beads and string them on a piece of twine, but my...

  Lately, my routine has been to arrive home from work, kick off my shoes, pull on some sweatpants, and sit by my diffuser while watching Netflix. Currently, I am diffusing a blend of eucalyptus and orange. It opens up my airways (which are...

  One of my sons only recently took a road trip with his grandparents hundreds of miles away to their house in Idaho. He was only 6 years old, I had never been to my in-laws’ new home in Idaho, and I’d never been away from any of my sons...

There are so many different projects you can make with our new jewelry charm kits. Make a necklace, or a dozen necklaces, all from using the same components in new and interesting ways. The lock alone can be used three different ways because of its...

I’ve been saving an old pile of outdated CDs for about a year now. They’ve been sitting on the edge of my desk, gathering dust, and I knock the pile onto the floor nearly every time I walk past them. However, I just couldn’t throw away...

Everyone in the office has been dying to find a good technique or use for Dina Wakley’s Rosy paint. The color is absolutely gorgeous and we decided that it looked like something straight out of a fairy tale. When paired with our chipboard crowns,...

I’ve always loved snail mail. There’s something so exciting about getting a letter with your name on it. Nowadays, I seem to only get bills and junk mail. To recapture the joy of receiving a handwritten letter, this project uses Poly Shrink...

No matter where I am, I always have a tube of homemade lip balm in my purse. However, it always seems to have disappeared when I go to use it. I’m convinced they enter some sort of magical universe the second I put them inside — like a Narnia...

Pocket watches always make me feel a bit nostalgic. For this project, I decided to play on the motif of nostalgia as a writer. I dropped in an antique pen nib and a token that said “story” to remind me of the fundamentals of writing and art...

Around the same time that I was working on the Good as Gold Project, I started thinking about what else I could do with resin. I love all the bezels and jewelry that I’ve made with resin, but I was ready to branch out and try something new. This...

Sometimes you just need a little bit of encouragement — a little reminder that there are brighter days ahead and that there is still magic and hope in the world. To always keep that message close to my heart, I created a wish in a bottle necklace...

4th of July is just a few days away and I always try to dress for the occasion. Traditionally, I wear the loudest pair of red, white, and blue shorts ever, but unfortunately there was a small fireworks accident last year, the shorts became red, white,...

These gold leaf mica flakes add a little sparkle to any project. With these resin pieces, the gold leaf can catch the light from all directions and really shine. Tie a piece of ribbon on and use these quick and easy backless bezels as keychains,...

I’ve been fascinated with the paper quilling projects I’ve been seeing lately. Artists with more patience than I will ever achieve have managed to create paper masterpieces that take a simple curl and turn it into a beautiful picture. For...

I have been itching to create mini dreamcatchers to wear around the neck for a long time! I loved the idea but it never came together in my head so I put it aside. When Coffee Break Designs came out with their chipboard feathers, the very same idea...

“Let Your Spirit Take Flight,” with this necklace by Guest Artist Sandra Evertson. Sandra paired Rising Spirit and Mialgros Relics and Artifacts to create this unique necklace, adding a beautiful patina using an assortment of metallic paints...

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so we wanted to create a project that celebrated the survivors. My grandmother is a breast cancer survivor and I remember her being very brave as she took one day at a time and fought. So, I incorporated the word...

I love to mix pearls with unconventional materials. When I stumbled across this paint-splashed ribbon, I knew that I wanted to create a wrap bracelet that fused together the best of the creative and the classic. The end result is a bracelet that reminds...

I usually try to incorporate something a bit “loud” into my outfits. Sometimes I’ll wear a bright, quirky pattern or an unexpected pop of color, but lately I’ve found myself drawn to big and bold necklaces. As much as I’d...

Journals make great gifts, but since they are blank slates, they need to be dressed up. This project is a quick way to thoughtfully wrap your next journal gift. The pre-painted ruffle trim adds the look of custom mixed-media painting without actually...

Mica is too gorgeous of a material to leave in a drawer in your craft room. Adorn your house with this luxurious looking craft supply to enjoy year-round. Mixed-Media Mica Project Directions: Stamp a word onto Vintaj blank. Paint a found feather blue,...
