August Joy of Crafting Show #1

On this first August JOC show, it's all about jewelry making! First, we have Gloria from our Pearl City BFC introducing you to the fine art of Kumihimo.

We have the simple foam disks in our stores to make creating beautiful braids super easy! You can add beads and other special fibers to make beautiful pieces of jewelry.

Then, by popular request, we brought back Lynn Hashino and her sweet Crystal Cupcake. It's a really easy beading project and we do have a project sheet to make a beaded cupcake which you can convert to the crystals.

Lastly, I'm still loving the buttons, so I show you how to make those cute and simple Button Rings. And we have a project sheet for that one, too!

Hope you can catch this episode and get some ideas so you can start fashioning your own one-of-kind jewelry pieces, too! Thanks for stopping by today and hope you have a great week! Happy Crafting!

Blingin' Buttons!

I'm So Happy that our fun buttons finally arrived, been waiting for these babies to come in! We have a fun assortment of fashionable buttons to use in all types of crafts.These are just a few of the designs.

They are perfect for making rings, which is what I did. For my first ring, I wanted to show off the design on the button so it just has a little wire wrap swirl, like a cinnamon roll.

This pink one was  a little more flirty, going with the flowery design. First, I added a bunch of dangles.

Then, I changed my mind and just left one heart dangle so you can see the wire wrap flower top.

These are really fun to make and they are quick to do. The only hard part is trying to decide which one to make first!

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you are having a great week!
