How to Make Stiffened Fabric Jewelry

noreply@blogger.com (mitkey) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:57:43 PST

Take a look at this gorgeous stiffened fabric pendant tutorial by Craftypod. If you think fabric can't be used to make jewelry, then think again! The following is the article from Craftypod.

This project is a real example of crafty serendipity. I’ve been noodling with this stiffened-fabric idea since June, but with one thing and another and another, haven’t gotten around to posting it.

When I finally went to photograph this tutorial, I realized the season was changing, and I’d need to switch from the summery fabrics I’d been using to something more Fall-appropriate. And that fabric switch totally transformed the project.

Anyway, here’s how it’s done…

To begin, you’ll need a number of things handy:

A bunch of woven-cotton fabric squares (I’m using 2″ and 1 1/2″ ones here, but – experiment!)

Some fabric stiffener (I like Stiffy, and there’s also Aleene’s.)

A work surface (wrap a piece of cardboard tightly with plastic wrap, and tape it to the back.)

Pour some stiffener into a shallow dish. Have some paper towels at the ready – things will get messy!

Saturate a square of fabric in the stiffener, and lightly wipe away the excess. There should be a film of stiffener over the surface, but you should be able to see the pattern through that.

Place the square face down on that plastic-wrapped surface. Gently fold the four corners in to meet at the center, as shown. You’ll have plenty of time to adjust them so the resulting shape is nice and square.

Some fabrics will fray a little during this process, and leave little threads sticking out at the corners, Don’t worry about this right now – we’ll deal with it later.

Stiffer fabrics have a tendency to pop up in the center. If this is happening, just dip your finger in the stiffener and place a dot of it over those four corners, as shown. It’ll vanish when it dries.

I like to let the pieces sit a few minutes, and then gently plump up the squares by pinching them on the sides a bit. I think they’re prettier if they aren’t totally flat.

Make as many pieces as you need, and leave the whole thing to dry completely. This will probably take overnight.

When it’s all dry, you can gently peel the squares off the plastic wrap. Sometimes it helps to slide a thumbnail under the edge to get it started.

…And now, we’ll trim off those bits of frayed thread! Now that the fabric is stiffened, you won’t see any more fraying.

If you find a little ridge of dried stiffener at the edges of your square, just scrape it away with your thumbnail.

So now you have all these design elements to mix and match. You can combine different sizes, fabrics, and configurations to make all kinds of pretty things.

I’m arranging these fabric tiles with the four folded-in corners facing up, by the way.

…And then we’ll add some buttons, which makes things even more interesting.

So, to assemble these tiles into jewelry, we’ll sew them. The stiffened fabric is still stitch-able, but I’d recommend keeping a thimble and a pair of needle-nose pliers handy – they help push and pull your needle if it gets stuck.

First, we’ll sew a button to this tile. Let’s hide the knot in our thread under the button. Just pass the needle down through the center of the tile. These tiles are quite stiff now, but still, handle them carefully. Try not to bend or crush them.

If you wiggle your needle a bit as you press it into the stiff fabric, it’ll go through more easily.

From here, sew on your button as you normally would. Once you’ve made the first set of needle holes, you can keep using them for the rest of the stitches.

(Incidentally, I love using a contrasting thread with the button. I’m working with doubled thread here, but that can be fiddly. Single thread works great, too.)

To finish the thread, pass it under your stitches on the back of the tile, and then knot it.

Here are a couple variations on this idea. When I want to stack up several tiles into one piece as you see here, I’ll follow the same steps to hide the knot under my button, but then I’ll also take a couple stitches through all the tiles. That helps hold them in place while I sew on the button.

And also, I prefer sew-through buttons for this project overall, because they’ll stay flatter against the fabric. However, I found this shank button in my stash – it has a really shallow shank, so it worked well.

I like using simple methods to convert these pieces into jewelry. You can easily sew on a jump ring, as seen here, and then add it to a chain or neckwire.

Or, you can pass a needle through the top edge of back tile, as shown here. This allows you to suspend the piece from waxed thread, narrow ribbon, or (in this case) pearl cotton.

You can totally use these tiles in clusters. In fact, you can make a whole lot of other things besides jewelry! Consider these ideas:

They’d make a cool garland.

You could make some interesting holiday ornaments.

They’d make pretty package toppers or gift tags.

They’d also be cool card embellishments.

They’d be an interesting dimensional embellishment on a curtain

Ditto for a lampshade.

What other ideas do you come up with?

How to Wirewrap A Faceted Pendant That Does Away With Claws

noreply@blogger.com (mitkey) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:35:00 PST

This beautiful pendant is designed by Mavis Llewellyn, as Featured in Wired.

Have you ever wished for a more attractive way to mount a stone in a pendant than the old-fashioned use of "claws"? Mavis Llewellyn used wire wrapping in the project presented here, for that very reason. Mavis' pendant was the project of the month in a recent issue of Wired. Here are Mavis' step-by-step instructions for this lovely pendant project, to introduce you to one of the things wire wrapping can do.

BEADED FLOWER

noreply@blogger.com (mitkey) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:22:22 PST

A step by step lesson from http://www.beadstudio.com/info.php?a=217! It is amazing that the wires and beads can be transformed into something so beautiful!

Sculpt this flower from beads & wire. Once made the uses are endless!
For wearable art you can create a brooch, a centerpiece for a necklace or
on a barrette. For the home, a napkin ring, a candle or a curtain. Let
your imagination go!

Materials:

- Four yds 28g craft
wire, cut in 1 yd pieces

- Assorted seed
beads (11/0, delicas, 3-cut, hex or charlottes)

Choose colors that blend well in a variety of finishes to give texture
to the flower.

- Twelve 4mm round
or firepolish
beads

- One 6mm
bead

Step 1 - Slide 3 seed beads onto a piece of 1 yd wire. Thread end of wire
back through 2 of the beads, pulling both ends to create a small loop of
beads in the center of the wire.

Step 2 – Add 3 more seed beads on one end of the wire and thread the
other end of wire through the seed beads in the opposite direction. Pull
gently being careful to work out any kinks in the wire as you see them
developing.

Step 3 –
Continue this process to build the petal. The pattern we used is 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, 6, 5, 5, 4, 4, 3, 2. You can develop your own pattern through
experimenting with different combinations.

Step 4 – Add
one bead to each of the wires, then start building the next petal, using
the pattern in the reverse order. Try using a different color or type of
bead for each petal to add interest and texture to the flower.

Step 5 – To
end the petal, thread wire back through a few of the beads, twist around
once or twice and snip the ends.

Step 6 – Repeat Steps 1 through 5 to create 2 more sets of petals. You
will need three set to complete 1 flower.

Step 7 – Cut the last piece of wire into 4 equal pieces (approx. 9"
ea).

Step 8 –Thread one of the 4mm beads onto the wire and twist the wire to
anchor the bead in the center.

Step 9 – Separate the wires, add a bead to one wire and twist several
times. Continue until you have 4 beads on each wire. Repeat until you have
3 pieces finished.

Step 10 – With the one remaining wire slide the 6mm bead onto the wire
and fold in half and twist. Take all the wires and thread through the
center of the petals. Twist or braid and coil all the wires to anchor.

Flower Girl Jewelry

noreply@blogger.com (BonitaJ.com) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:37:00 PST

The little flower girl gives all of your wedding day guests an extra little smile as she sways down the isle with her flowers or flower petals. No one can look at the little sweetness that she is without copping a smile for how proud she is to be part of someone’s special day. That’s what is so wonderful about weddings. They bring out joy and happiness in everyone and the littlest people contribute too.

Your little flower girl wants to look as beautiful as the big girls and wants to play that extra special part just for you. She wants to be glamorous and beautiful. Giving your flower girl some flower girl jewelry she can cherish for her childhood is a great gift idea. She will be so excited to open a gift just for her, to find a beautiful piece of flower girl jewelry she can wear to accentuate her look too.

There are a wealth of online stores that sell the same pieces of flower girl jewelry. They are nice, but finding a customizable flower girl necklace, earrings or bracelet is your best bet to finding the perfect fit, style and color match. Look for a reputable company that offers sizing options, clasp and earring style options as well as pearl and crystal color options. Whether your flower girl’s gown will match the brides, or is similar to the bridesmaids, it is just as important that she has a piece of jewelry that both fits her but also matches your wedding color scheme as well.

A great option for flower girl jewelry is to have a necklace and bracelet that you can customize with an extender chain. An extender chain gives you adjustable length. While you may believe that your little flower girl’s wrist is only four inches, it may be a better fit at four and a half inches. Additionally, having an adjustable fit is a great way to allow your flower girl to wear her jewelry as she grows. Her little wrists won’t be that small forever, so having the adjustability is a perfect way to let her jewelry grow with her.

Another item to consider is your flower girl’s ears. Are they pierced? If not, you may want to opt to leave earrings out. If earrings are a must for you, then finding a bridal jewelry store that offers clip on options for your flower girl or other party members without pierced ears, is an excellent method of achieving your look with a functional earring that she can wear.

All little girls love to play dress up and dream of their own special day where they will be a bride and be the center of attention. Being in your wedding is one of those special moments of her life that she will cherish as she grows. The flower girl jewelry that you give her is an excellent way of giving her a piece of jewelry she can wear while growing up.

Bridesmaid Jewelry they’ll wear again

noreply@blogger.com (BonitaJ.com) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:38:51 PST

You’ve picked your best friends and closest relatives to stand next to you on your most special day. Finding them a great gift that is both thoughtful and compliments your wedding style will maximize your gift’s potential and will be appreciated through out time.

Many a bridesmaid tells their bride that they love their gown, that they could totally wear it again for a cruise or party, but rarely these are just words we utter to make our brides feel comfortable with the price they’ve just paid to be in your wedding. Most bridesmaids gowns end up in attic closets, garage sales, second hand stores and hand me down prom dresses. We rarely ever wear the beautiful gowns again, and as such, they are great memories but just not quite an investment that pays back. With bridesmaids jewelry gifts, you are giving your bridesmaids a gift that they can actually use and enjoy wearing again after the wedding.

Giving the gift of bridesmaids jewelry is the ideal gift to say thank you for being such a beautiful part of my special day, and here’s something you don’t have to pay for. Your bridesmaids will enjoy wearing their bridesmaids jewelry gifts on your special day, but they will love to wear them again. It’s a gift that will keep on giving and your bridesmaids will think of you each time they don a piece of that lovely bridesmaids jewelry you’ve given them.

Brides are often selecting the same dress for each of their bridesmaids, but when it comes to their bridesmaids jewelry selection, they are opting for a different look for each bridesmaid. This is a nice way to compliment your wedding, the beautiful gowns your bridesmaids will wear, but also give them a piece of jewelry they are comfortable wearing and they look great in. Not all women wear the same styles and types of jewelry. Some women prefer to have a simple pendant necklace and small drop style bridesmaids earrings. While other women might prefer a bold and multi layered necklace with huge dangling chandelier earrings that are sparkly and overstated. Whatever your bridesmaid’s personalities, it is a good thing to pick a piece that is unique to their styles and personalities. This is a great way to give a gift that they will actually enjoy wearing again after the wedding.

Finally, include a nice little note in your bridesmaids jewelry gift. Tell your bridesmaids how much you care for them and appreciate all they have done to complete your very special day. This little note is a great keepsake that they can keep with their bridesmaids jewelry gift. Every time they pull out that little jewelry box with their bridesmaids jewelry inside, that note will pop up and remind them of your special day, but most importantly that they were apart of making memories with you.

Finding the Perfect Bridal Jewelry

noreply@blogger.com (BonitaJ.com) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:39:28 PST

A bride on her wedding day wants to look both beautiful and glamorous. The dress is, of course, the first step to achieving that look. The bridal jewelry she will wear is the icing on the cake. There are all types of bridal jewelry styles to browse from manufactured bridal jewelry to couture custom bridal jewelry pieces. Finding the right fit means a custom fit for most brides, so finding a good bridal jewelry design company is a great way to get you started.

Look for a bridal jewelry company or designer that both fits your budget, but also your style. Every designer has their own signature look to all of their wedding jewelry pieces, so finding one that suits you specifically is the first step. Another item to consider while searching for the right bridal jewelry company is options. You want to be able to custom select your bridal necklace and bracelet lengths, clasp styles, earring styles, but most importantly, you need the colors to match. A good bridal jewelry store will have a wide variety of pearl and crystal color options so you can make a perfect match. While white is the most traditional color a bride may wear, ivory, champagne and light pinks are becoming more popular with brides. Some brides are finding gowns with gorgeous sashes in a wide array of colors suits them best.

Once you’ve determined what kind of style you would like, the best way to match your bridal jewelry colors with your wedding gown is to compare the colors together right in front of your own eyes. Find a bridal jewelry store or designer or website that offers you color samples for both pearls and crystals. A good bridal jewelry company will send you samples of any color you need to see in person to make the best and closest comparison of your wedding gown to your bridal jewelry.

After you’ve chosen what color pearls and crystals will suit your wedding gown the best you can search for the right style that will compliment your beautiful gown and your own wedding style. You need to consider what bridal jewelry accessories you would like to wear. There are necklaces, bracelets, earrings, hairpins, hair combs, tiaras and more that a bride can choose from in her search for the perfect look. You may want to wear only a bracelet and earrings or a necklace and bracelet, or all three together. You’ll have to imagine what pieces you would like to bring together to find the perfect combination of bridal jewelry for your special day.

Another item to consider is your hair accessories. Are you wearing a tiara? Not all women feel comfortable in a tiara, so there are other options available such as hair combs and hairpins or hair vines. These hair jewel accessories can accentuate your hairstyle without the over the top tiara. For women that love the idea of a tiara but still want that glitz, there are a wide variety of hairpins and hair jewels that will compliment your tiara on your wedding day. Some brides often remove their tiaras at the reception, but may still want some bling in the hair. Having some customized hairpins that coordinate with your tiara and bridal gown are the perfect way to accentuate your look without the use of a tiara throughout your entire special day.

There are many items to consider when selecting your bridal jewelry. Be sure to keep an open mind. You may be lucky to find just what you’re looking for the first time, but trying on several pieces of jewelry to find exactly what will match perfect with that gorgeous gown can be a fun and fruitful process. The best part about the selection of your bridal jewelry is that you don’t have to preserve your bridal jewelry in a box in your attic after the wedding. Your bridal jewelry is something that you can wear all of the time after the wedding. Whether you are celebrating your anniversary, attending another wedding, or just going out on the town for drinks, your bridal jewelry pieces can compliment your look for that day and keep your most special day’s memories alive.

Hair Accessories for Brides & Bridesmaids

noreply@blogger.com (BonitaJ.com) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 09:04:56 PDT

Selecting your hair accessories for your special day is an important final touch that will bring your entire look together. There are a few items to consider when selecting your hair accessories.

The first item to think about is the dress. Does your beautiful gown have any beading on it at all? Are there pearls, crystals, or rhinestones? If your gown does have embellishments on it, then use that as a starting point for your hair accessories. If you have pearls or crystals or both, select hair accessories that have those same pearls and crystals, as well as in the same color palette.

The second item to consider is what type of girl are you. Are you a tiara girl? Do you prefer something a little less understated, but still want that elegant and sparkly addition? Although tiaras are a traditional choice for many brides, not everyone feels totally comfortable in them. If you are that girl, a different hair accessory is the way to go. There are many other options which include hair combs, hair vines, hair pins and head bands.

Taking a simple single pearl or single crystal hairpin and adding about 6 – 8 of them to an up do adds a great splash of color and sparkle that looks great and is not overdone. Hair combs are a great choice for the side of a partial up do, to place on the inside seam of a French twist or on top of a chignon. A hair vine is a nice option to wrap around the side of the hair or work into a bun.

There are many hair jewelry accessory options for brides. If you are not to sure about a tiara, you now know that are multiple ways to add that fancy sparkle to your hair to finish off your look and coordinate your colors.

Adding a Bracelet for a great Final Bridal Touch

noreply@blogger.com (BonitaJ.com) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 09:02:56 PDT

Accessorizing your look for your wedding day is one of the fun parts of planning a wedding. During this process you choose wedding jewelry that matches your gorgeous gown and coordinates your entire look together. A bracelet is the perfect way to add an extra splash of color to the wrist.

The best part about selecting your bridal bracelet is that you can choose any style. With necklaces you need to consider the style of your gown and the neckline, so you necklace will match perfectly. With a bracelet, there is no matching up except for color and size. You can place a bracelet on a bare wrist or over wedding gloves, either way, it adds a romantic and final look to your outfit.

When choosing your bracelet you need to consider the embellishments your gown has. Are there crystals, rhinestones, pearls or sequins on your gown? Is your gown white, ivory, champagne? Does it have a colorful sash or embroidery detail? These are all items to consider when selecting your bridal bracelet. Choose like materials for all of your jewelry. If your gown has pearls and crystals, then choose a bridal bracelet that has pearls and crystals.

There are a variety of styles and beads available today. You can choose anywhere from a simple single strand bracelet to a cuff style bracelet. There are great chunky styles and very glamorous looks this season. Whatever style you choose, coordinate your colors with your bracelet for the perfect coordinated look.

Many brides pack up all of their accessories with their gowns after the wedding day. With your bridal jewelry, you don’t have to do that. Wear your bridal jewelry for other special occasions like anniversaries, vacations and fancy events. This is the perfect way to keep your wedding memories alive and utilize a great piece you’ve already invested in.

Beaded Angel Charm Tutorial

atelierwendysue@gmail.com (Wendy Sue) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 19:29:34 PDT

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to make this angel charm which I think would make a quick and snazzy gift!

This is also a fun project for a beginner where you will learn the R.A.W as well as wrapped loop.

Included in this tutorial is a few trick for you to make that nice wrapped loop. I can't say that it's the perfect wrapped loop but if you have the issue with the wrapped stem not positioned at the centre of the loop nagging at the back of your mind, I'll show you the trick to achieve just that.

Band of Pearls Ring Tutorial

atelierwendysue@gmail.com (Wendy Sue) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 07:27:12 PDT

Learn how to make this seemingly cluttered pearls ring. Made using Swarovski crystal pearls, you can also substitute with any round bead. In the tutorial, I also suggested how you can do some substitution with bicone bead for a different results.

This ring is also a double row R.A.W ring but done differently from the beginner's tutorial on this subject. If you have tried the beginner's version, you'll be able to see for yourself the difference in the two but if you have not, you will still be able to follow this tutorial.

I'm showing you an alternative way to the previous technique and an interesting exploration for those interested in R.A.W.

Tools & materials used:

(1) 10mm pearl/round bead

(2) 6mm pearl/round bead

(26) 3mm pearl/round bead

Size 11/12 seed bead
