Crafts Unleashed

One of the loveliest and most meaningful  things to make for your wedding is jewelry for your bridesmaids. It’s a stunning piece to wear on your big day, and a keepsake for them!

This project features pink crystals, but feel free to substitute your wedding colors- or go for all clear crystals and wear it yourself as “something new!”

Materials:

Bracelet Instructions:

1. Cut two 10” pieces of Beadalon wire.  Carefully crimp one piece of wire to each loop in one end of the toggle clasp. (For instructions on crimping, read my post HERE.)
   
2. Start threading 3 beads onto each of the wires, making sure to tuck in the ends of the wire.
   
3. To thread a slider onto the wires, carefully slide a wire into each side of the slider at the same time.
   
4. Continue adding beads in the order in the photo below.
   
5. Slide a crimp tube onto each wire, through the toggle clasp, and back through the crimp tube and the last 3 beads strung.  Carefully tighten both sides evenly.
   
6. To finish, crimp both wires onto the other end of the toggle clasp.�
   

Earring Instructions:

1. Take 2 head pins, and thread 1 bicone crystal onto each, and thread a slider onto the head pins.
2. Twist the two head pins together, forming a single thick twisted wire.
3. Using your chain nose and round nose pliers, create a wire wrapped loop in the twisted head pin.
   
4. Slip your wire wrapped head pin onto the earring wire, and twist the earring wire loop closed with your chain nose pliers.
5. Repeat steps 1 – 5 to create the second earring – and voila! You are done!
