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!

Chakra Jewels Craft Party

Last night we made Chakra Bracelets in Chrissy Gemmill's Craft Party, "Chakra Jewels".  Besides learning the fundamentals of wire jewelry making, we also learned the deeper meaning of some of the colors of jewels!

 

 The class quickly learned all of the skills necessary to complete a bracelet of their own design!

 Chrissy organized the bead choices by color.  Each color represents a different chakra.  Students could create balance by using all of the colors or pick colors for the chakras that they most wanted to represent.

 

 Here are the finished results!  It is always fun to see how differently they all come out to be!

Neptune's Jewels Wine & Cheese Craft Party

Chrissy Gemmill helped us get in style Wednesday night by teaching us how to create a nautical inspired bracelet! She brought in tons of stones and beads in beachy colors. Also, you could choose from various nautical charms. We learned basic jewelry making techniques such as wire wrapping and jump ring manipulations.

Then we got to the fun part! Picking out our bracelet colors and creating our design.
The results were great!

Patterned Metal Bracelet Wine & Cheese Craft Party

Two weeks in a row we held the very popular class, "Patterned Metal Charm Bracelet" taught by Chrissy Gemmill. In this class we learned jewelry making basics and got to personalize our very own bracelet!

We started out by learning the basics and how hard to hit the metal stamps...

The hardest part was figuring out what we wanted our bracelets to say...

Everyone was really happy with their finished results! Here are some of the finished bracelets and happy class takers...
