DIY Jewelry in Glass Vials

June 16, 2015 by AllFreeJewelryMaking

Fairy dust, terrariums, bottle messages…oh my!

Every day, I’m looking for new and unique homemade jewelry that I can wear with practically everything. I especially love those cheesy, inspirational words scrawled across a silver pendant–no, I’m not kidding. My preference for jewelry is utterly extreme. I either need a statement necklace with a rose-gold watch or my silver knock-off Pandora charm bracelet with a simple silver pendant necklace. I mean, go big or go home, right? Some days, a long, v-shaped necklace suits my fancy. Do you know what my v-shaped necklaces consist of? Stuff I collected from the 7th grade… I’m sure you can imagine the horror of my 2006-2007 school wardrobe. Since I don’t feel what I own is age appropriate for right now, I might as well make it! Simple and interesting are my goals for DIY jewelry…

Those glass bottles and vials are all the rage. You know, the ones that resemble a miniature version of a message-in-a-bottle? I’m sure you love the idea of those tiny message-in-a-bottle crafts you see, but you just don’t know what to do with them. Sure, they would look good in a shadow box display with your seashells that you collected during your vacation, or they would be adorable as an accent detail in your scrapbook. But jewelry?

You’ve often found yourself asking these questions when it comes to homemade glass bottle jewelry: How do I even begin to make them? How do I make them age appropriate? I don’t like necklaces, but I want to use the glass vials.

Sweetie, you’ve come to the right place. Below is a list of atypical crafts for this glass bottle jewelry. They aren’t your common message-in-a-bottle’s, but there are some that a notable messages within the bottle. Okay, okay, so it technically is still a message-in-a-bottle, but it isn’t always your vow of irrevocable love. You can give yourself your own words of inspiration, or channel your inner fairy with some glitter (because glitter makes everything better). Be sure to check out the terrariums-in-a-bottle! Whatever you choose to do, these timeless homemade necklaces, earrings, and rings will always be in style because of their creative designs and innovative ideas.

New Pattern Monday: Crafting Fun in the Sun

July 19, 2010 by FaveCrafts

This week was H-O-T at the FaveCrafts offices! With summer in full swing, I don’t know what I’d rather do–head to the beach with a good book or hole up in the air conditioning with my trusty crochet hook. Here are some new projects on FaveCrafts this week that you can make indoors and wear out in the sun. Get ’em while the weather’s still hot!

Shellz Necklace and Earrings: Wear this necklace to the beach and you’ll match the seashells you see on the seashore.

Embellished Flip Flops: Never leave the house with boring footwear again, at least not when you’re heading for the sand!

Summer Wrap: This lightweight wrap will show potential suitors that you like fashion, crocheting, and long walks on the beach…

What’s your favorite craft to do in the summer?
