DIY Earrings White And Gold Pearls And Beads

These gorgeous earrings were found on Cut Out And Keep, a website full of craft tutorials.  The tutorial was submitted by Gisele R.  Love the design of these earrings!

As with most jewelry projects, you can recycle some beads from older jewelry you are tired of or purchase new beads and components.  The choice is yours and your creativity is the limit.

DIY Multi-Strand Bracelet

Rebecca from My Girlish Whims always comes up with the most awesome jewelry designs that I've seen online.  

She has also discovered Elements of Antiquity which is an online shop that sells aged pewter jewelry components that are 100% made in the USA, lead free and nickel free.  Great shop to get inspired!

Those of us who enjoy jewelry design as a hobby or as a means to make a living are always looking for sources of inspiration and unique findings.

Pearl and Rhinestone Leather Bracelet

Bev at Flamingo Toes has come up with another awesome beaded bracelet design!

As with all jewelry designs, you can use new or vintage components or a combination of both.  Vintage rhinestones is my favorite and I have boxes and boxes of components and broken jewelry that I can use for these type of bracelets.  Can't wait to start creating!

I have some ideas for coming up with a different base for the bracelet instead of leather.  Keep checking my blog . . . I'm almost ready to start getting creative again.

Thanks Bev!  You can go to her tutorial for this bracelet here.  Check out the rest of her blog while you are there . . . she is amazingly creative :)

DIY Beaded Wrapped Bracelets

I love these beaded wrapped bracelets that I've been seeing all over the internet for quite some time.  

There is a huge amount of purple suede wider cording sitting in my craft room that has been in need of a project for so long.  It was part of a barter trade I made at least a decade ago . . . I have lots of that kind of stuff hanging around my craft room.  Anyway . . . I think it would make beautiful bracelets with a bit wider cord including some bigger beads for something different.

When I found this tutorial on Life of Charmings, I thought it was time to get serious about what to do with that purple cord!

Happy beading!

DIY Beaded Dangle Necklace

Rebecca at the blog My Girlish Whims has the most gorgeous jewelry designs I have ever seen!  It was such a treat to discover her blog :)

I just love this beaded necklace!  It would be very easy to make a bracelet and earrings to match.  How about a beaded hair barrette?  You are limited by your imagination!

Rebecca made this necklace from new materials, however, like any other DIY jewelry piece you make, it is up to you . . . I would love to use old jewelry I already have that need repurposing.

DIY Multi-Strand Chain and Bead Necklace

What a gorgeous necklace!  With the same basic techniques you could also make earrings and bracelet to match.

The jewelry designer used new materials, but you can also make a beautiful piece of refashioned jewelry from your vintage jewelry pieces that are broken or that you are just tired of.

DIY Ombre Necklace

Love this DIY necklace that has so many design possibilities!

The necklace in the tutorial utilizes new jewelry components, but you can use components from some of your broken vintage jewelry and come up with your own refashioned piece of jewelry.  Recycling old jewelry is one of my favorite projects.

The design features four varying lengths of chain with beads attached.  I can imagine the movement of this necklace!

This DIY jewelry project comes from Allie, the creator of all things Miss Lovie. On her blog you'll find great tutorials and ideas on jewelry making, sewing, home decor, holiday decorations and more! I have included her button on my Favorite DIY/ Crafty Blogs page for future reference.

DIY Shades of Autumn Bracelet

Love the design of this bracelet!  My favorite part of the bracelet design is the use of end caps to keep all the stands together.

This is another one of those jewelry designs that can utilize vintage jewelry to make into refashioned jewelry or new jewelry components.  

Vintage beaded necklaces are a great source of unusual beads to use in this project.
