ACCESSORIES: Craft Stick Wrapped Bracelets

Have you ever made popsicle stick bracelets? It’s an old-school craft that’s been around for a long time. For this project, I’m using craft sticks. They’re narrower and a little longer than a popsicle stick. You can get them at most craft stores.

Accessories: Crystal and Bugle Bead Bracelet

When it comes to jewelry, I’m definitely a bracelet girl. Some people look great in big statement necklaces, fun earrings or blingy rings. But I love bracelets. I like to layer them and wear several at once – bangles, beads, stones – you name it.

Inkling: paper clip & junk mail bracelet

Making a paperclip chain or bracelet has been around for probably as long as paperclips. I saw a fun paperclip bracelet here that took the paperclip chain to a new level by wrapping paper around each clip to form paper beads.

Etceteras: security envelope bracelets

It’s no secret the inside of security envelopes are perfect for crafting. The paper designs are amazingly interesting. I’ve used security envelope paper for note cards and other paper crafts… so I thought I’d give jewelry making a try.

I started with plastic strips and taped them into a circle. I cut the security envelope paper into strips and mod podged them onto the plastic. Once the bracelets were thoroughly dry, I added another coat of mod podge.
