3 DIY Jewellery Making Ideas To Inspire You

Making jewellery is extremely time consuming and for those perfectionists, a hugely frustrating time. However, there are positives, as you can be incredibly creative, crafting something bespoke just for you. Not only can you match your style, you can also find yourself saving a ton of money by creating them! To help you get in the rhythm of making your own jewellery, we have come up with 3 DIY jewellery making ideas!

DIY Jewellery Making 101 – Beading

Beading is an essential for any jewellery maker and with a little added flair you could find yourself creating something unique and all for you. Whether you are looking to match your beads with an outfit, or simply doing it to create something special for a younger sibling or child, beading is the best way. There are both basic and complicated methods, but we’ll stick to the basics. Getting a string and placing the beads on the string with a beading needle, you’ll find yourself beading in no time! If you’re looking for something a little more glamorous place some Swarovski beads on their, adding a beautiful and dazzling look.

You Can Even Create A Charm Bracelet!

Charm bracelets have a personal feeling that no other type of jewellery can match, making them the perfect gift for anyone. Making charm bracelets yourself adds a sentimental value, taking it away from traditional beaded jewellery. All that is needed is a chain, or bracelet, a handful of jump rings, some charms, a jewellery clasp and some wire cutter. This way you could add essential charms to the bracelet, making it customised to the person, or yourself! It is really simple for those wanting to add a sentimental touch and you could even add a few diamond based charms. Watch your partner, friend or family’s face light up with a personalised and customisable charm bracelet!

A Beautiful Necklace Choker

The right necklace chokers can be difficult to come by and with the amount of different brands adapting them, it can be truly difficult to find something that matches you. They were hugely popular in the 90’s, but as they are incorporated into many different current trends, why not make your own? They are incredibly easy to make, so why would you waste extra money to get something that isn’t truly you? All you need is ribbon, ribbon clamps, a pendant (or charm), lobster clamps and some jump rings!

Jewellery is something that can be made yourself, so never rule it out (unless it’s an engagement ring you’re after). Take a look at the host of different DIY jewellery making options available and have your very own customisable jewellery!
