Metal Stamped Message in a Bottle Craft Party

I came home last night with a super cute new necklace that I made myself! Stacie Spencer taught the Metal Stamped Message in a Bottle Craft Party! 

 I think the hardest part was deciding what word/words to metal stamp into the pendant.  We did a lot of practice stamping!

 After the metal stamping, we learned how to make the beaded dangle, filled the bottle and added the jump rings to complete our necklaces!

 Here are the finished results!  Of course I chose polka dots... they all turned out great and hide a hidden personal message inside!

Bohemian Beaded Hoops

 Last night we had a great time with Taryn Sisco, creating Bohemian Beaded Hoop Earrings at our Craft Party! These earrings looked difficult to make, but Taryn showed us how easy and fun it was!

 In no time at all we were on our way!  We picked our color combos and started on the earrings!

The finished results turned out beautifully!  And even better- Taryn told us how to make them in different variations and where to find all of the supplies to make more!  I know what I will be doing in my next free time....

Bangle & Dangle Bracelet Craft Party

Last night Stacie Spencer taught the Bangle & Dangle Craft Party!  We had a really fun group of students and everyone created a great piece of jewelry!  First we had to learn wire wrapping.  We practiced on base metal before moving onto the good stuff...

It was tricky at first to learn how to make them but once we got the hang of it, we moved onto the sterling silver wire! 

So many beautiful beads to choose from.  Some people made theirs sparkly and some chose more earthy colors...

But they all turned out great!  Here are the finished results!

Beginning Silver Wire Wrapping- Earrings

Yesterday we held another craft party!  Stacie Spencer taught everyone how to create wire wrapped earrings! 

 We practiced the techniques using copper wire before starting on the sterling silver!

 

We hammered the wire design on both sides which gave a cool effect as well as straightened out the earring.



 The copper practice earrings came out nice as well! 

 Elaine always likes to get comfy on the floor!  It must work for her- she always creates beautiful projects! 

Here are the finished results! Thank you Stacie for another fun and very informative class!
