The Simplest Jewelry Making Idea


If you’re looking for something to give your girl friends for their birthday, instead of buying them why don’t you simply make it for them. You can easily construct a pair of earrings and a pendant no more than 30 minutes. In no time, you got yourself a beautiful jewelry set. That’s what I always do. My friends love it, not to mention that it is more meaningful since you made it yourself.
Here’s my favorite tactic. Easy too. All I need are a pair of heart shaped swarovski crystal size 10X10.3 and a matching heart shaped size 14.4X14 which is a slight bigger than the pair, 2 open jump ring and a pendant bail.

Attach both smaller heart shaped beads to a small open jump ring so you can attach that ring to the earring hooks. There, a pair of earring ready to go.
Next, simply slap the pendant bail on the bigger heart beads. Bails come in a lot of shapes and sizes, so choose one that you like. The pictures above is a simple kind. Clasp it through the beads opening and you got yourself a pendant.

Easy, isn’t it? Find a nice looking box and line the inside of the box with dark colored velvet. Place the earrings and the pendant nicely inside and the gift is good to go. Believe me, your friends will be thrill! Who knows, next, people might call you to jewelries for them.
