Valentine’s Day is just a few weeks away. How did that happen?!? But there is still plenty of time to make your own jewelry to wear, to gift, even to sell (how many men wait until the day before to purchase gifts, hmm?).
Brass heart cutouts textured with the new Vintaj BIGkick machine.
Mollie made the above earrings with our brass fairy doors and the Vintaj BIGkick (tutorial coming soon!). Hearts are popular year round. Especially SWAROVSKI crystal hearts – they are so sparkly!
Mollie’s “Blue Valentine” necklace is a classic.
My zombie bracelet is not!
I used ITS (image transfer solution) to copy the zombies to the copper disks, and alcohol inks to colorize the stamped tags.
But hearts are just the beginning. Since Valentine’s Day is all about love, I think jewelry that features items you or the intended wearer love is totally appropriate. How about sweets for your sweet?
Toni’s sugar rush of a bracelet.
Tiny ceramic cupcake beads create an adorable confection. And don’t forget about toys. Who doesn’t love to play?
Mollie’s monkey is barrels of fun!
Jump rings and chain can turn most anything into a necklace! Does anyone else think the monkey bears a striking resemblance to Dr. Quinn’s (Jane Seymour’s) open hearts? Maybe if you flip it sideways and upside down?
Whatever your style, have fun with your Valentine’s creations! ~ Cindy
