Jumpin' Into Jewelry...

Hello happy CREATE blog readers!

This is Amy checking in to chat with you about what has become a positive OBSESSION with me. (and I'm not kidding when I say OBSESSION...truly I am obsessed.)

About what, you ask?

Jewelry. Specifically, MAKING JEWELRY.

What girl doesn't LOVE jewelry? Even if you're not one to accessorize yourself to the nines, there has to be a piece or two that is near and dear to your heart. A wedding ring, a brooch that belonged to your grandma, even that macaroni necklace your child made you in Kindergarten that you lovingly wear each Mother's Day! But I digress...

Let me tell you. Once you learn the basics, jewelry making it terribly & wonderfully addictive. And, shhhh, not that hard.

Really. I promise you. In fact, come in & let me show you.

Because making cute, custom, one-of-a-kind pieces that match YOUR personal taste is something you can do. Whether you have a super clean, simple style or you like to bling out, you can learn to make your own jewelry. Check out these pieces we've made lately: a simple vintage button ring, handmade bead earrings, bottle cap pendants, a bracelet just perfect for fall, and a layered drop necklace.
