4th of July Jewelry Projects

Take some red, white, and blue beads, some wire, some jewelry findings, and some imagination and make some of these fun jewelry projects.

Make some patriotic jewelry. I used red, white, and blue in most of these designs, but most are easily adaptable to different countries by just changing the color of some of the jewelry components used.
