The holiday season is a perfect time of year to share your love of jewelry making. Here are a bunch of great projects, some easy some a little more advanced, for you. Many of the ornament projects are also easily adaptable into jewelry items.
Sparkling Wood, Wire, and Crystal Christmas Tree Earrings
Tammy Powley
A little glitter adds a 3D affect to some simple painted wood pieces. Add some wire and a crystal on top of each one to make these earrings sparkle even more.
Glittery Wood and Wire Snowmen Earrings
Tammy Powley
These super easy snowmen earrings are a whimsical design that even the beginning jewelry maker can create.
Frosty the Snowman Pin
Tammy Powley
These are perfect little gifts for those people who tell you not to give them anything. Plus they are so easy to create that I made a number of them all at the same time to give away as gifts to co-workers and friends.
Red Nose Glitter Reindeer Necklace
Tammy Powley
This project combines wire, chain, and wood - yes wood - to make a cute reindeer necklace.
Santa Charm and Crystal Dangle Earrings
Finished Santa Earrings
Team up a stamped brass Santa charm with red and green crystal dangles and brass wire.
Crystal and Chain Ornament Bracelet
Tammy Powley
The red, green, and white crystal dangles on this bracelet are reminiscent of Christmas ornaments hanging from a tree.
Holly Wire and Glass Bead Earrings
Tammy Powley
Use holly lampwork beads and some wire to create these festive dangle earrings.
Paper Clay Star
Tammy Powley
Paper clay is a fun and unusual jewelry making medium. In this project, I use a cookie cutter to create an ornament. Use this same technique and scale it down to create your own jewelry components.
In-A-Pinch Wire Hook Ornament Hanger
Tammy Powley
Make wire hooks to hang your ornaments from your Christmas tree.
So-Easy Bead and Wire Wreath
Tammy Powley
This holiday ornament is one of the projects I came up with for those on my “small gift” list. You can whip up gobs of these super quickly, and they are also excellent for children to make.
