The post Turn Clothespins Into Wirework Jewelry appeared first on 12thBLOG.

1. DIY sweater bracelet

Do you love knitting and crochet more than most other crafting techniques but you’ve never really considered those skills that would help you make jewelry? Well, A Bit of Sunshine is here to show you that you actually can make jewelry with your knitting needles or crochet hook! If you don’t actually knit or crochet but you just adore the look of yarn work jewelry, try using the basic techniques you’ll see in this tutorial but with upcycled pieces from old knitwear clothing instead!

2. Beaded wool brooch

Who knew making winter jewelry could use so many other diverse crafting skills? Here’s an idea for the felters in our midst! This wool brooch has been felted into a little circle, embroidered with black thread to look like branches, and beaded with tiny coloured seed beads. The finished product looks like a winter blossomed tree in a snow storm and we love it! Check it out in more detail on Tonyautkina.

3. DIY glitter ring

Winter is the perfect time for glitter because everything outside is already glittering in frost, ice, and snow! Just because you’re adding a touch of glitter to a look, though, doesn’t mean you have to get carried away. Sometimes a subtle sparkle, like this cute little DIY glittered ring, is all you need! Find out how to make your very own ring in any colour of glitter you like on A Splendid Assemblage!

4. DIY snowman earrings

Jewelry Making guides you through the process of making cute little dangling earrings of your very own that look like little snowmen! Their tutorial shows you how to curl jewelry wire and attach earring hooks to any type of bead, but if you’re already an experienced jewelry or bead maker, the possibilities for little Christmas characters would be endless!

5. Snowman bead earrings

In case beading is your real specialty when it comes to making jewelry, then here’s an adorable Christmas design for you! DIY Fashion shows you how to string beads in such a way that you create an adorable snowman shape, complete with little “coal” buttons down the front. Once you’ve got the technique down, imagine all of the different shapes you’ll be able to make!

6. Crystal snowflake earrings

Do you remember earlier when we were talking about how white and clear beading makes winter jewelry making fun because it looks like snow, frost, and ice? These adorable little dangling snowflake earrings by Atelier Workroom are exactly what we mean! We particularly enjoy that they used a contrast of the two to create a delicate design.

7. Christmas tree earrings

Can you tell that we have a particular fondness for dangling earrings when we craft our own jewelry? They’re just so much fun to both make and wear that we can’t resist showing you all of these adorable designs! For the sake of diversity, here’s another: adorable little wooden Christmas trees covered in tiny crystal “ornaments”. Check the design out in more detail on DIY Fashion!

8. DIY crystal wrap

Are you a huge fan of the idea of crafting your own Christmas jewelry but you’d rather something a little more subtly festive than something that screams “Christmas”? Then check out this simply pretty wrap bracelet design from Flax and Twine! As long as you’re comfortable with a little bit of very easy hand stitching, you’ll have created your own version in no time.

9. Sparkling gunmetal earrings

Sometimes it’s nice to wear jewelry that simply fits a more winter aesthetic rather than pieces that are openly Christmas themed. After all, the winter season lasts far longer than just December and the Christmas holidays! We enjoy wearing dark metals and pretty rich chromes during the winter, just like these fringey DIY chandelier earrings from Rings and Things.

10. DIY faux druzy necklaces

Druzy stones are a gorgeous touch no matter the season, but we find them particularly lovely in the winter, especially if you choose cool tones that complement the aesthetic and environment outside. Some authentic druzy pieces are expensive but, luckily for us, Minted Strawberry has found a way for you to make your own instead of breaking the bank! Check out their tutorial to learn how.

11. Candy cane bow necklace

Have you always enjoyed working with clay to create your very own shapes and custom designs? We fully understand the satisfaction that comes out of that! That’s why we loved this adorable wrapped clay bow necklace by Lines Across the second we saw it. We love the candy can effect they used here, but we also like that you could use a different clay or pattern and create a version that’s a little less seasonal too.

12. DIY gingerbread charm bracelet

Are you looking for a design that’s nice and easy to do with your kids while they’re home for the Christmas holidays? Then check out this simple Christmas charm bracelet idea from Rings and Things! They’ve used pre-made Christmas charms shaped like little gingerbread houses but the chain is custom sized and you can accent and embellish the space between the charms using whatever kinds of dangling beads you like most.

13. Christmas charm earrings

Do you like the pre-made charm idea above because you’ve actually been collecting little themed charms for years, but you’re not sure that wearing a charm bracelet really suits your personal style? Then check out these dangling charm collection earrings by Show Me Crafting! Whether you match the earrings perfectly or choose different charms for a more eclectic look, people’s eyes will be drawn to them immediately.

14. Peppermint earrings

Were you intrigued when we were talking about clay crafting earlier in this post but those designs just didn’t quite strike a cord with you? Perhaps you’d like to get a little more creative and try a swirling technique instead! That’s how 365 Days of Crafts created this adorable peppermint earring design. We love the way they contrasted the bright red of the peppermint with a cooler mint colour and white to really make you feel the winter festivity.

15. Silver branches bracelet

Have you been searching for a winter jewelry design to make yourself high and low but you haven’t found one that’s quite as natural as your personal style is? Novelty designs and bright colours are fun but it’s nice to try something a little more whimsical and subtle sometimes as well. That’s why we fell in love with this silver branches bracelet from All Free Jewelry Making! You might add many silver seed beads or only a few, depending on how much you want your “branches” to glisten.

Tuts Plus suggests creating an intricate looking “web” of paper beads across your chest by wrapping the paper around hooked jewelry posts and linking them at each end. You’ll be able to control how big or small a statement your new necklace makes!

2. Paper bead Y necklace

Have you ever considered combining paper beads with regular glass or seed beads? Personally, we adore the contrast using two different styles of beads creates! Paper Bead Crafts suggests making a delicate Y-shaped necklace, using your longer paper beads as the pendant part of the Y, as well as throughout the chain.

3. Paper bead charm bracelet

As if an adorable little paper bead bangle or stretching bracelet wasn’t enough, adding a charm to the design takes the cuteness of the piece up a notch! If you can find a charm with a cute saying, then a bracelet like this one by Heather Diana Designs makes a great birthday gift for a friend or family member.

4. Twisted paper bead necklace

Are you looking for a paper bead design that perhaps looks a little more intricate? Check out how Beading Design Jewelry made this bracelet look nearly couture by wrapping beaded strands around each other so they intertwine!

5. Crossword puzzle paper bead fan necklace

This design from PaperMelon is awesome for so many reasons! Firstly, the large, gorgeous fanning shape is stylish and avant garde. It’ll definitely grab the attention of onlookers. Beyond that, we think it’s awesome that the beads are made from crossword puzzle pages! Are you more of a Sudoku fan? That works too!

6. Paper bead necklace and dangling earring set

If you’re going to go to the trouble of making yourself a necklace with a pretty paper bead dangling perfectly in the centre, why not create a matching set of earrings? We love this simple idea involving a single mustard bead on each piece by Mystique Moth.

7. Paper bead leather and button bracelet

Leather cuffs are awesome, but we’ve found a way to make them even more custom and unique: roll a series of paper beads and weave them with leather string so that the leather frames them all along the edge! The Young and The Talented shows you how to do that and add a loop with a big button for getting it on and off.

8. Gaelic weave paper bead bracelet

Do you like the previous idea but you’d like a bit of a twist rather than simply having a cuff of straight across beads all the way around? Paper Beads shows you how to angle them slightly for a stylish Celtic weave cuff.

9. Cha cha paper bead bracelet

Do you remember when stretching linked bracelets were all the rage, made from sliding metal links featuring cute charms? Do you have a rather plain one left over that you don’t wear anymore and that doesn’t have any charms? Upcycle it into this fun “cha cha” design by adding bunches of small paper beads! Paper Beads walks you through the process.

10. Paper wheels and wire bracelet

Many of the paper beads you’ve seen so far are made in a similar cylindrical style, but sometimes it’s fun to switch things up! Follow in The Mystique Moth‘s footsteps and try creating these wheel shaped beads out of paper instead! We love this look that alternates those with cylindrical beads.

11. Spanish literature bangle

Are you an academic, a literature buff, or a huge bookworm? Try making paper beads out of old book pages! The typed words will show across the surface of the beads when you roll them, so they’ll look perfect on a double hooked post and a wire bangle frame. Check it out on Tanith!

12. Down to Earth paper bead necklace

Did you really like the style of the cha cha” bracelet idea above, but you don’t have a linking metal charm bracelet to use as a base? Paper Beads shows you how to make it out of acrylic string or ribbon instead! These bunches of rounded beads might be out favourite design so far.

13. Rice paper bead dragonfly necklace

The Frugal Crafter guides you through the process of creating a wonderfully novelty dragonfly shaped necklace from paper beads. They’ve used rice paper specifically, giving the beads a shine as though they’ve actually been given a glossy finish just like glass beads.

14. Pink orchid paper bead bangle

This bracelet style adds a little bit of glitz and glam by combining pink floral paper beads with clear glass and seed beads. We love the way that Inspirational Beading used the Celtic wrapping style to string the beads at a stylish angle.

15. Magazine paper wheel necklace

Were you such a fan of the wheel style of paper bead that you absolutely need to make more pieces in that style? Try creating a statement piece like this necklace featuring paper wheels in several different sizes! Get the design from Pinterest.

Are you looking for some dazzling yet not-so-common accessories to revamp your earthbound outfits? Are you ready to take a fashion-forward leap into wilderness? Just jump on and discover our whimsical mix of animal themed jewelry comprising of rings, earrings, pendants and all things fashionable.

1. Animal Rings

We wonder, what can possibly be cuter than a baby elephant or a dolphin hugging your finger? Probably, your favorite pup or a kitten clinging on to your finger? Animal inspired wrap around rings look super cute. The immaculately detailed 3-D miniatures of wilderness’s residents wrapped around your fingers and toes are adorable enough to make anyone go aww and roar at the same time.

Tip: Don’t be afraid to go for the lion heads, tigers or the leopards for wrap around rings. These animal jewelry have the power to look ferocious yet appealing.

2. Animal Earrings

Abstract animal motivated studs, hoops and danglers have been adorned by mankind since the earliest of times. This season, it’s the earring jackets and cuffs that have hit the run way. Drawing inspiration from Daenerys Targaryen’s dragons from the upcoming episodes of the ‘Game of Thrones,’ the Dragon animal jewelry look fierce and fashionable.

Flawlessly crafted figures of intertwined snakes and winding chameleons are also immensely popular among the youth. Don’t worry you need not get your ears pierced to adorn an ear-cuff.

Tip: Do you think dragons, snakes, octopuses and chameleons are just not right for your personality? Want to add a bit of sophistication to your ensemble? Then, you might want to try on a pair of subtle butterfly wing inspired ear jackets.

3. Animal Pendant

Have a fetish for collecting pendants? Want something matchie-matchie to pair up with your animal jewelry? Then, take a dig into the wild world of flora and fauna. Pick your favorites and wear them around your neck.

There is a wide variety of semi-precious to precious animal inspired pendants available in the market. One can find anything from a roaring lion to a cuddly bunny rabbit necklace under the same roof. All you really need to do is find the animal pendant that can add grandeur to your personality. Don’t forget to take your outfit, accessories and other jewelry items into consideration.

Recently, the owl pendants became popular among the youth owing to the multiple layers of symbolism it holds. The owl symbolizes wisdom, intelligence and assures protection against evil. Therefore, it is an ideal present for those who seek knowledge and good luck.

4. Animal Printed Bags

Handbags have the potential to make or break the charisma of an outfit. The right handbag can draw attention to your best features while the wrong one can make you look like a faux pas. Thus, it is important to choose a handbag that gels along with your dress, body-type and not to forget persona.

Tip: You can use animal printed bags to your advantage in numerous ways.

1. Less is more: Remember to pair an animal printed bag with a subtle outfit. Allow the handbag to grab the right eye-balls and become a fashion statement.
2. Choose your patterns wisely: Use horizontal prints to add a few visual inches to your body horizontally, while you might want to pick a few vertical prints add to the length i.e. if you wish to look slimmer say yes to a vertically printed bag.
3. Avoid conflict: Choose a bag that compliments your personality and outfit. A vibrant leopard printed bag may add a funky element the outfit and personality of a young go-getter, whereas a sophisticated (mono-chromatic crocodile or snake leather) bag might suit the one with a contrasting personality.
4. Don’t be afraid to experiment: We understand that you don’t wish to be termed as the next-fashion-disaster at your upcoming get-togethers and parties, but that shouldn’t hold you back from experimenting. Play around with vivid colors, patterns and designs. Voila, you could spark off a new fashion trend.

The animal kingdom has been an inspiration for artists for ages. The fashion-doctors and divas are no exception. It is hard to resist a piece of animal inspired accessory, be it the tiny delicate broaches, ageless charms and lockets, earrings or the delicate hair ornaments. Animal themed accessories can be used to add panache to traditional as well as contemporary outfits. So, add up a few animal inspired accessories to your wardrobe to highlight a new aspect of your enigmatic persona.

The post Easy and Cool DIY Jewelry Ideas appeared first on 12thBLOG.

From a very early age girls are addicted to jewelry. Throughout the years our tastes, age and earnings change but our love to all these bling-bling things stays eternal. We’re pretty sure you’re highly skilled at choosing and purchasing jewelry pieces but when it comes to pairing the jewels with your look it brings a lot of difficulties, angst and questions you have no answers to. Even a small pairing imperfection can spoil your carefully selected outfit.

Have no clue how to pair you last whim-wham piece? Take a deep breath and turn off your panic mode. Here are a few simple tips to move along with choosing jewelry that will work best with your outfit and will perfectly fit the whole look.

Earrings

• The classy ear cuff is the latest bauble in the worldwide jewelry box. The pearl-studded, the delicate ones, the chain iterations and so on. They are an unbelievable jewelry masterpiece. Just find your perfect match and pair it with any kind of outfit. They are absolutely universal.
• Strike the right balance with a drop and/or heavy earrings. They work better with collarless tops and add a sexy accent to your bare neck. Get rid of the necklace. Wear the tank top or a dress with cleavage. Guys love cleavage you know!
• Choose the contrast color of the textiles in case your earrings are self-colored vice versa wear a self-colored top in case of choosing multicolored ones. For instance you could wear a black dress with white color earrings .
• If you are going to wear a gown or a top with a print make sure your earrings match the shape of the print.
• Choose clusters for a dressy occasion like a cocktail party.
• The small hoops and understated stud earrings are perfect for the conservative outfits and formal events.
• There is nothing better than casual chandliers as well as the novelty studs if you’re dressing dor for a relaxing day;
• Ensure that the earrings’ material is suited to the occasion. The wooden, plastic and resin ones for the informal events. The rhinestones for the night outs. The classic crystals for the formal dinner;

Bracelets

• Do not wear a massive one on the same wrist with your watch. Make sure its style matches your watch (e.g. do not pair a glamorous one with a casual watch). Color can be different but not a style. Pair it with a floor-length dress, blue jeans and white A-line shirt. Essential: get rid of the sleeves. You should be barehanded at least to the elbow;
• The multiple thin candy-colored pieces work better together to create a fuller look; Wear them with your late spring and summer looks. Choose self-colored textiles and feel free with the get-ups;
• The crystal and pearled bracelets are the best decision for the office-formal suit and the little black dress;
• The urban wrist accessory can work wonders with a bikini look;
• Wear the ethnic leather bracelet with the vintage dress and boots. It’s also a good match for the flower and hippie prints;
• Plastic bracelets. Just do not wear plastic bracelets;
• The bracelets made of silver or gold metal are one-size-fits-all.

Rings

• If you’re in trend with the latest ring obsession – the handscape – be sure your fingers say something gorgeous to the world. Mix the midi ones with the dazzling nail-ring borders in the right way. They should be alike in color, be the same color and metal. Wear them if you are trying to achieve the hipster or vintage style look. Feel free with wardrobe items but keep this one and only style to the last detail;
• One more fashionable trend is the ring combos. They look great with skinny jeans or black pants paired with an over-sized top. No one will ever accuse you of being boring or monotonous in this combination;
• Be elegant! If you’re going to be ‘little black dressed’ choose only one thin ring glazed with a few rhinestones or decorated with a small pearl;
• Combine the 2 self-colored metal rings of the same shape with your formal outfit;
• Never ever mix the different metal colors. It will spoil even the otherwise perfect look that you have put together;
• In case you received a proposal of marriage first of all accept our cordial congratulations. Planning your bride look please get rid of all extra rings even the most fashionable ones. There is no ring that fits a wedding dress better than the engagement ring (the Tiffany one for sure, LOL);
• The big black massive ring (say an Onyx stone for instance) is a true must-have of every girl. It can spice up both the simple casual outfit or the complicated well-thought-out look.

• Necklace
• The latest hu-u-uge trend is the statement necklace. It can really bring any outfit to the next level. The best trick is to pair it with something boring like a plain dress. Just try and you’ll see the unbelievable transformation;
• Wear the long thin ones with a deep cleavages;
• Choose the massive models to pair them with white shirts with a collar;
• Take a long chain with a funky bob and combine it with a pair of boyfriend jeans and a black top;
• Pair the formal gown with a long thin chain with a rhinestones drop;
• Put the pearl rope across your neck to add a romantic flair to the boring business dress;
• Try combining a sweatshirt with a cut-away back and the long chain with a geometric pendant. Put it on your back not on your chest as usual.

Hair Jewelry

• Choose the contrast colors. Pair bronze accessories with a black and white kit. Choose the silver pieces for the bright-colored outfits like yellow and green. Take a deep black hair-slide to make an accent to your red ‘femme fatale’ dress;
• Pair the little ‘princess’ bobby pins with a skittish candy dresses.
• Take a few self-colored wide clips to create a small curl that will add a rakish hint to your severe office dress;
• Pair the flower decorated clips with your playful bikini;
• Use the wide metal ring to fix the ponytail when you’re dressed skinny and in a stunning, romantic nude-colored jacket;
• Combine the hair-rim covered with rhinestones with the cocktail or party dress. But pair the barbed one which can be decorated with the studs with the jean-shorts and leather boots;
• Don’t mix the different shapes and forms of the clips at the same time. This trick really never works with any clothing combination and brings only heartache and frustration;

• Legs Chain
• The latest quirky trend that caused a storm in the fashion world should be worn with shorts on bare legs, over jeans or with tights. Your leg chain will rock;
• Choose the silver metals to make an accent on your perfect tan when wearing the chain with your bikini;
• This accessory works better with sneakers of all descriptions – even high heel Chuck Taylor All-Stars! It also looks good when you’re barefoot;
• Wear some foot rings so you’re doing the full complete look;
• If you want to combine it with a dress – don’t choose a tight one;
• It looks better when you pair it with a self-colored outfit. To wear the leg chain with bright printed shorts is an indication of bad fashion taste. In fact you may be arrested and fined by the fashion police, but for sure you will be snickered at by your friends;
• Try to avoid any kind of spangles or the rhinestones in case you wear it with tights. It will look vulgar.
