Here is my latest crafting night with June Cruz:
What you will need:
Thrift store frame. (Goodwill: $3), Trusty Glue Gun (Free: Mom’s hand-me-downs), Wire scissors (Antique Row sale in Pomona: $2)
Step 1: Cut chicken wire to fit the frame
Step 2: Hot glue to wire to the inside border of the frame
Step 3: Put earings through and display!
Making this jewelry holder only took us 10 minutes! And the idea was all June’s! She even gave me the chicken wire. :] I’m so excited to go to Tahiti with her!
I saw this picture the other day and thought, hey, I can make that!
So I tried.
Here’s what I ended up looking like:
I think they turned out pretty similar. Don’t you?
I tried putting them on a chain too:
not too bad right?
I’ve been messing around making a bunch of different earrings and necklaces. I’ve been meaning to put them up here, but haven’t found the time! The studs are mostly vintage. All the others I made using old things I’ve found at thrift stores or sale items from Michael’s.
Here are a couple that I’m super excited about:
I don’t know… I’m not much of a jewelry designer, I just love recycling and reusing other materials into something pretty. I try to have fun. Expect to see these things as I prepare for Christmas gifts! Don’t be surprised if you get a handmade paxie necklace! haha
