Bracelet

An impressive bracelet can make any outfit pop. There are countless easy DIY bracelet tutorials available online to make a bead bracelet or something more complex; so whatever style suits your taste there will surely be an affordable DIY bracelet tutorial suitable.

Recycled materials make great bracelets; check out Shelterness for examples made out of old t-shirts! Or create something different by braiding embroidery thread and beads together into an eye-catching bracelet, like making one with soda tabs that packs an eye-catching punch!

Tila beads make another fantastic option for bracelets, featuring vibrant hues and modern styling. Tip: Once your bracelet is completed and knotted securely, there are various methods of concealing its knot: using C-shaped knot covers (which close over your knot) or just adding beads with large openings that cover it completely.

Necklace

A necklace is a piece of jewellery worn around the neck that can either be plain metal, decorated with beads, pearls, crystals or gems, or feature other charms like crosses, amulets or amulets attached.

Necklaces come in all lengths, from chokers that hug close to your neck to pendant necklaces that cascade down the front of the neck. You can add charms such as beaded flowers, sea glass pieces, natural shells or rocks for extra flair!

To create a necklace, all that’s required is a string that’s long enough to wrap all the way around your neck and an end clasp or bead tip. Thread specifically made for beading can also be used, as can copper-, aluminum-, or stainless steel wire. For added safety when beading on thread or wire thread, put a crimp bead behind the clasp to keep beads from coming loose!

Earrings

Earrings frame your face and add an accent of color to any ensemble, so this fun DIY project uses colorful embroidery floss to enliven some gold hoops that would otherwise languish in your jewelry box. Or you could use the same method with old Lego bricks belonging to your children that have outgrown their use!

To create these earrings, simply string beads on a headpin (how many will depend on the size of your beads), use pliers to curl the top of it and finally secure it to a jewelry charm with a jump ring.

Recycle old bottle caps into something useful with this easy DIY! They make perfect essential oil diffuser earrings or go the extra step and try making playful pom-pom earrings to add an eye-catching accent. This project makes an excellent gift idea, or is fun activity to do on girls’ night in.

Hair Bow

Hair bows are an elegant feminine addition to any girl’s ensemble. Making one is easy – just tie ribbon or fabric around an object like a barrette, French clip, tic tac or alligator clip or even headband to attach to. Ribbon is often the go-to material when crafting one of these beautiful bows!

To create a hair bow, start by cutting a strip of fabric that matches the width of your desired bow. Fold each side toward the center before adding a dab of glue at its center for extra security.

Once your bow has taken shape, add a string if desired – you can tuck this behind either of the loops, or leave it hanging. Optionally, burn its edges if fraying is an issue – and your new hair bow is complete!
