Wrap Bracelet

I decided to test my crafty skills by making a wrap bracelet this past weekend. It was much easier than I thought, and didn't require any jewelry making tools. Which is great, because I don't own any of these. I had three tutorials pinned, but ended up using the one from Hollie Rogue. It was straightforward with a lot of pictures. I bought all the supplies at JoAnn Fabrics, and have enough to make a couple more. That's code for "if you're a close friend or relative, expect this to be your next holiday gift."

Zipper Flowers

I spent some time with my mom yesterday in her craft room, and these little beauties are the result:

I had purchased a box of zippers and rick rack at a rummage a few months ago. This was the perfect craft for my zippers. I used tutorials from Snips and Spice and Needlework to make the flowers. They are both great tutorials. Of course we modified them to fit our supplies. Have not yet decided what to put the flowers on. Maybe a brooch? A hair clip? Head on over to the tutorials if you'd like to make your own.

Rick-Rack Rosette Ring

Isn't this ring sweet? I love that it's big and girly and cheap. Cheap in a good way. It's made from medium rick-rack, hot glue, and a ring base (jewelry section at Hobby Lobby). You can get the full tutorial from The Crafting Chicks. The instructions were easy to follow and now I have a new ring to sport around my house while I'm playing toys and cleaning floors. Glamorous, I know. Sometimes I stop mid-sweep to check out this little beauty on my finger.


Have an awesome day,
Robin
