This will allow your necklaces to hang independent of each other and not result in a tangled mess. Similarly, if you’re worried that putting your earrings in a box will make it harder to match pairs, then you should try making an earring holder that keeps your earrings together. If you don’t want to spend hours finding and freeing your favorite pieces of jewelry, then these DIY earring and necklace holders are definitely what you need.

The World is Your Oyster: 12 Precious Pearl Crafts

April 17, 2014 by AllFreeChristmasCrafts

Just like lace and flowers, pearls add a dash of femininity to clothing, accessories, home decor, and more. But did you know that these delicate gemstones come from irritated mollusks? That’s right; if a parasite burrows its way into a mollusk, the mollusk grows a pearl around the affected area to prevent it from spreading. Pretty cool stuff! I wish humans had a defense mechanism like that. Unfortunately, we don’t (yet), and natural pearls are super expensive. Luckily, I can use pearl beads to give my wardrobe a ladylike look.

DIY Clothing Ideas for You and Baby

Beaded Poncho – Gold-plated pearl beads set off the earth tones in this knit poncho very nicely.

Link Love: Fun with Fringe and Tassels

March 6, 2014 by FaveCrafts

Fringe – it’s not just for hippies. In fact, if you check out your favorite store or head to your mosy-visited online shopping destination, you’re more than likely to find some fringe and tassels. This trend was all over the runways at New York Fashion Week and is taking over the craft world. If you’re a little nervous about fringe, you’re not alone. Personally, I like a more understated look and tend not to go for big, bold clothing and accessories. Luckily, there are so many ways to easily incorporate fringe and tassels into your crafts without channeling Lady Gaga (not that there’s anything wrong with that).

Tassels and fringe can add a cool three-dimensional look to an otherwise traditional piece. The best example of this is the Aran Crochet Throw, which looks like something your grandma would have made. While the afghan itself is pretty simple, the tassels and bobble stitching patterns make it a little more challenging. The extra time and effort is worth it though – you’ll want to display this afghan forever. For a bigger, bolder look, make your own Cable Afghan with Tassels. In this case, you crochet the afghan first and then work on the tassels. Once all four have been made, you simply attach one to each corner. If you’re running short on time, make a Tee Shirt Fringe Scarf. You don’t need a sewing machine or even a needle and thread for this trendy project. Instead, cut up an old shirt with a pair of scissors – seriously, it’s that easy.

Don’t be afraid of fringe. Whether you choose to rock a statement necklace or create festive streamers for your next party, there are so many ways to embrace the trend. Simply channel your inner Stevie Nicks, get creative and see what you can accomplish.

Get Great Gatsby Style with 10 1920s-Inspired DIY Jewelry Projects

October 22, 2013 by AllFreeJewelryMaking

The 1920s are all the rage these days! The premiere of a new film adaptation of The Great Gatsby this year has ushered in a revived desire for Jazz Age-inspired jewelry. I don’t know about you, but I was so excited for the new film version of this classic American novel. The movie was certainly an audacious spin on the material, and it excited many admirers of the novel. Designers have also been excited and influenced by the film’s era, and looks galvanized by a love of the Jazz Age, flappers, and art deco have appeared all over fashion magazines and red carpets. Vintage jewelry pieces, in particular, are very popular.

You don’t have to bust your budget on expensive, vintage jewelry pieces; get these 1920s-style looks for less by making  DIY jewelry. AllFreeJewelryMaking has compiled a list of 1o vintage-inspired crafts to meet your 1920s-inspired fashion desires.

Link Love: Crafts That Will Have You Seeing Red

February 20, 2013 by FaveCrafts

February is all about the color red. Of course there’s Valentine’s Day, when red hearts, red candies and, well, red everything rules. February is also American Heart Month, a time to raise awareness about heart health. Throughout the month, there have been a variety or events and opportunities to spread the word about heart disease. Wearing red was just one of many options and people all over the world took advantage.

Before February ends, make a red craft (or two) to capture the essence of the month. In a previous blog post, AllFreeHolidayCrafts editor Jennifer showed off some of the top red crafts from that site. Today, we’re widening the scope and going beyond holidays – we’re talking red crafts for every season! During the long, cold winter months, a Knitted Brim Hat and a Bright Red Shimmer Cowl are great accessories that will stand out from a sea of black clothes. These patterns show that your wearables don’t have to match the cold and gray weather outside your window! If you’re not interested in yarn crafts, use a red shirt to create a dress or red cardstock to make a handmade card.

Get inspi-RED and create some bright crafts that will capture everyone’s attention – it’s a great way to beat the winter blues!
