More Fiber for Your Jewelry Diet

Are you getting enough fiber in your jewelry diet?

Seriously, using fiber in your jewelry designs can be a great way to add texture and color. Also, most fibers like ribbon, hemp, and waxed cord are fairly inexpensive and are great for teaming up with beads. If you'd like to expand your feel for fiber, then consider some of these simple jewelry projects to get you started:

Retro Macrame Choker: I literally took a page from my past when I wrote up these instructions.

Raku Bead & Hemp Necklace: Hemp comes in lots of colors these days, so it's a great way to add texture and contrast to a design.

Vintage Key Necklace: A little ribbon turns into a colorful clasp.

Crochet Amulet: You only need to know a few crochet stitches for this simple amulet project.

Knotty Macrame Earrings: These are perfect and light look for summer time.
