Boho Style Multi-Strand Bracelet, Earrings and Ring Tutorial


Love this boho style jewelry set, made by Lindsay Weirich. They are so simple to make yet beautiful! If you are new to jewelry making, you will need to watch carefully how Lindsay dealt with both ends of the multi-strand bracelet. It uses crimp beads on both ends to keep the glass beads from falling. And the flower toggle clasp is just a finishing touch. It won't look so gorgeous if you using other clasps, I think. For earrings and rings, I love the paper pattern, just lovely.They're easy to follow too, dip some glue on the back of glass pendant and stick it on paper, cut down the paper and glue the glass pendant with paper on the cabochon findings. Easy! If you love Lindsay's designs, do check the video out!

Mix Chain Bracelet DIY



This is an adorable vintage, but a little hippie style bracelet. It connects the turquoise beads, Tibetan style bead spacer and lampwork beads by 0.8mm wire. After arranging the beads, cute bronze colored charms, like starfish, shoes, tortoise, shells are added. And then make the single twist chain connected with the Tibetan bead spacer randomly. At last, don’t forget the lobster claw claps and extra double chain as the bracelet tassel. If you run an Etsy shop, this easy but fancy bracelet can be a great choice. And if you want to add more unique charm/pendants to your designs, go online for some wholesale charms, as jewelry making suppliers online always have much more versatile products available.
