LESSON 11 – 12: DIY RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY:


MAKING YOUR OWN JEWELRY.

One of the most fun DIY projects you can take on is


making your own jewelry. It's the best project because you get to
wear your final product. Plus, once you have the right supplies at
your disposal, it's so easy to do at any time.

The real stars of the show are the beads and charms you choose.
While it might be tempting to go with multicolor beads, we've found
that the best results come from a uniform color. But go with
whatever hues and patterns work best with your wardrobe.

Gather Your Materials

The most important thing you need when you're making


your own jewelry is the right beads and charms. Most craft and
hobby stores stock an impressive collection of stones and beads,
and some retailers' collections of small charms have expanded, too.
Choose your colors and charms carefully and make sure they'll work
well with pieces you have already. Charms can be really fun because
different symbols may have a special meaning.

Here's what you'll need:

 Beads
 Elastic cording
 Ring and clasp
 Charms
 Scissors
 Small pliers
 Glue

Add Ring Onto the End

Using your wrist as a guide, figure out how much elastic cording
you're going to need. Err on the side of more than less because you
can always cut off the excess but you can't add more.

To start the bracelet, double knot a plain gold ring on the end of
your cording.

Secure the knot with a little bit of glue.

Let the glue dry completely before the next step.

Start Adding Beads

This next step is the easiest but also the most satisfying. You're
going to string your beads on. We love these simple blue beads that
we chose—they're not too tiny. The bigger the beads, the less you'll
need.

Take your time as you string the beads on and check in on the
length every so often by holding it up to your wrist.

Add a Charm
About three-quarters of the way through the beading process, you
can add a charm as we did here. Or, if you want, you can add more
than one as you go—it's really your preference. Because of the size
of the beads we used, we didn't need any sort of spacers to keep
the charm in place.

Finish With a Clasp


Finish your bracelet off with more beads so it's long enough to fit
around your wrist.

Tie on and secure your clasp with a double knot and some glue.

Let dry completely before wearing.

How easy was that? Now that you have the supplies, don't be
surprised when you end up with a whole collection of these beautiful
pieces. Or, if you're feeling generous, you can give away some of
these as gifts to your best friends or family.

Experiment with different styles, multi-strands, or even a necklace.


Now that you've mastered these basic skills, you'll be amazed at
how well they translate to other jewelry making projects. Happy
crafting!
