After all, sometimes a simple trinket can effectively enhance your image. And how can you, by the way, complete your ensemble?
Those made by hand are considered original and truly unique.
By making it yourself, you will not only realize your wishes in the invention, but also get a lot of pleasure from the result you see. And you can also save a lot of money.
DIY jewelry for beginners
Many designers who love to create extravagant and exclusive images complement them with extraordinary jewelry.
That is why they prefer handmade jewelry. Because only with your own hands can you create a unique and inimitable item of the style that you need.
If you decide for the first time to make an interesting and unusual decoration for yourself or your loved ones. We advise you not to choose overly complex patterns or designs.
In this section we will talk about those accessories that are easy and quick to make.
Beads
Decoration made from beads looks interesting and original.
Multi-colored tints playing in the sun add special charm to this design.
Making beads is quite easy. You can choose your favorite beads at the store or use grandma's gift and give a new design to old ones.
If you find old beads, why not make something new out of them.
Cut the thread and lower the beads into the vase. Then we put them on one at a time, combining them with different beads of a different color and size. When the beads are collected, tie the end of the thread with a knot and fasten the lock. If the beads are placed on a chain, then we attach the lock to it.
Thread bracelets
We often associate bracelets with weaving techniques. As in childhood they were called “Baubles” or friendship bracelet.
The variety of decor makes it possible to choose and easily create the option you need.
This model looks interesting and unusual. And another advantage of such bracelets is that they are suitable for both girls and boys.
Now let’s look at one of the standard methods of weaving a bauble. To do this, you will need floss threads, of different or the same tone, it depends on your imagination. To start weaving, we will need 2 threads, and cut off 5 times the length of the bracelet. When the threads are prepared, we tie them tightly, leaving 5 cm together for future ties. You also need to attach this knot to the table with tape so that the threads do not get tangled during weaving.
And you can proceed directly to weaving.
We will have one thread as the main thread, and 2 threads weaving along the first. Thus, we make two air loops around 1 thread and then bring the end of 2 into the lower loop and tighten the knot. This will make a very delicate and neat bauble. Here are a few more designs that might be of interest to you.
An original addition would be to add large beads or other decor to such bracelets. For example, such as animal figures, hearts, crowns, circles and others.
Creating such a bracelet is quite simple; beads or other decoration are put on a thread and the ends are connected to each other. Also, the thread can be secured with a knot on both sides of the part so that the ends are double, they can be intertwined or remain straight and then connect them.
Weaving beads is quite simple. This bracelet is also called shamballa. To do this we need threads or you can use a rope or cord for weaving. Take 3 threads at the base of the bracelet, stepping back 5 cm. Tie a knot. And so let's start weaving this way.
Place a bead on the middle thread each time you weave it. The bracelet will turn out to be unique and sophisticated.
Another easy way for beginners is to create a bracelet with decor. Namely, when beads, beads or other interesting accessories are put on a thread or an elastic band or fishing line. At the end, the bracelet can be connected using a lock attached to the edges of the bracelet, or you can simply tie both ends of the thread or fishing line.
Hairpins
One of the important decorations are hairpins.
Even though we won't think much of them. But they are the ones who sometimes help us make our hair more impressive and our appearance neater.
For example, taking a satin ribbon and folding it 4 times, the folded length should be at least 8 cm.
Try to make sure that the edge of the tape is on the inside. Hold the edge over the fire a little in advance so that it does not crumble.
After this, take a ribbon twice as thin as the one for the base of our bow, cutting off 1 cm. Then fasten our bow with it in the middle. Straighten the edges of the bow so that they are more voluminous.
Now you can use the glue gun to attach it to a hairpin or elastic band. And our decoration is ready!
Original and creative ideas
Earrings
Creating interesting earrings will not be difficult; for this you only need the desire to create and your imagination. There are many interesting designs of earrings, we will present some of them to you.
If you like to be the center of attention then I think you will love bright and unusual pom pom earrings.
To create it we will need: a chain, pompoms or material for them (acrylic threads), fastening a cap for beads and the earrings themselves. And also pliers to securely fasten all components.
We take ready-made pompoms already attached with caps for beads.
Then we attach one end to the chain and attach the other end to the earrings. It is also possible to add beads or stasis to the design.
If you need to make pompoms, use these diagrams.
Tassel earrings are another interesting and extraordinary design.
These earrings will playfully dilute even the most ordinary outfit and add lightness and sophistication to the image.
And it’s not at all difficult to make them, for example, try this model. For this we will need: silk thread or floss, scissors, pliers, ear wires.
We take the thread and make two identical pieces 30 cm long. After this, we wind the thread onto a cardboard about 8 cm wide, then we tie its edges, and tie the thread in the middle with thread.
On the opposite side, we bring scissors under the threads and cut the threads so that both edges are the same length. Then we take the prepared 10 cm threads and wrap our workpiece along the upper edge 2 times. After this, tie a knot and trim the edge of the thread. We put the cap on the top edge of our earrings, and attach the earrings on top. This model looks interesting in a single-color version, as well as with the addition of other decor.
Headband
If you are a hair jewelry lover, then I think this idea is just for you.
Because it is an original hand-made headband that can complement your look so effectively. It looks bright and festive, which makes it relevant today.
To create, we will need: a glue gun, a base for the headband (that is, a headband), as well as accessories for decoration and tweezers.
First, let's take our headband; it can be plastic, iron or fabric-covered. Now, little by little, apply glue to the base of the rim and glue the beads.
Be careful that the glue does not stain the beads, otherwise it will dry quickly and the appearance of the product will not be aesthetically pleasing. Once the beads are glued, we leave the bezel to dry. And our decoration is ready.
And also if the base for the hoop is fabric, the beads can be sewn on. To do this, each bead is threaded and sewn to the product.
The headband made of wire and beads also looks very gentle and elegant.
To work, take the wire at one end, fold the wire, thread the beads in half and thereby secure the edge.
We thread each subsequent bead onto the wire and make several turns at a distance of 0.5 cm, thereby fixing it.
So we continue to weave our headband. At the end, when the main work is done, we attach a tape to the edges of the headband, with which we will attach it to the head.
Necklace collar
A necklace of this design is quite a universal item that goes well with different clothes.
In addition, it is easy to do and does not take long. For the nago you will need: a chain, felt, beads, thread, needle, glue, cardboard for a template.
To begin with, you should draw a drawing of your future product on cardboard and cut it out. Then, placing the cardboard on the felt, cut out our parts. Once the parts are cut out, we can begin decorating our decoration. Using a glue gun, we attach the beads to the surface.
The chain serves as a connection between the two parts of the collar. This decoration looks stylish and extraordinary.
DIY pendant
This interesting handmade pendant is as beautiful as jewelry. Moreover, it will be unique, since you will embody all your fantasies in it.
To get started, you need to decide what kind of pendant you would like. Because there are more than enough materials, such as metal, wood, fabric, thread, wire, leather and others.
We will look at how many ideas you have, and you will choose which one you like.
dream Catcher
The pendant with ethnic motifs looks fabulous and bewitching.
This pendant will effectively dilute your image and bring a charming mood to it.
And so, when everything is prepared for work. For this we need glue, thread, scissors, a ring (the base for the pendant), ribbon or thread, and decor.
We can proceed directly to weaving the web. The base for such a pendant can be wrapped in fabric or cord.
We fasten the end of the thread at the base and make a loop at a distance of 0.5 cm. Turning it around the base, we make all the other loops.
We weave all subsequent ones in a spiral, in a similar way, only we attach the loops to the middle of the loop of the first row. At the end we cut the edge of the thread and tie it in a knot.
Then we attach the fastener to the decor or simply tie it to the base with a thread.
We can also add interesting pendants or beads. We attach a ring at the top edge and thread a lace through it.
Pendant with stones
We get an unusual pendant by combining wire with stone.
Having made a wire frame and inserted a stone into it, we will get an original pendant.
For work we will need: wire, wire cutters, a chain or lace, and of course stones.
To avoid damaging the stone while working, wrap it with adhesive tape. To begin, take the pliers, draw wire around the wide part of them and make a loop.
We twist the wire 2 times to secure the loop.
We can also find a ready-made base for the pendant, such as ready-made frames for stones. They will also look interesting. After the pendant is ready, we thread a lace or chain through the loop and attach a lock to the edge.
The tree of Life
This pendant looks extraordinary and solemn.
Try it and you will definitely like it. For it you will need: A round base, 0.4 mm wire, round nose pliers and beads or seed beads.
First, take the wire, 8 pieces of 27 cm each. We thread it through our base ring, make 2 more turns, and then twist it, making a spiral-shaped trunk with each piece. So we attached the tree to the base, now we twist all the segments together into the spiral trunk of our tree. We make the trunk at 2/3 of the height of your base, after which we separate our branches. To do this, we divide the wires into 2-3 pieces and twist them in the same way as the barrel. This is how we get our branches, scroll them 0.5 cm long. When the branches are formed, we string beads onto the ends of the wire. Now we fasten the edge of the wire by circling it twice around the base of our pendant. We cut off the end of the wire by 0.3 cm, we twist the remaining edge at the end of the branch around the base. Thus, we form all the branches. Now we will proceed to assembling the pendant, thread a small ring through the base of the pendant, and thread a chain into it.
bottle pendant
A bottle pendant is truly an extraordinary decoration.
Their cost is low, and there is no limit to creativity. Anything can be a filler for such bottles, it all depends on your imagination.
For such a pendant we will need: a bottle, wire, chain and pliers.
Let's get to work, open the bottle, make a hole in the cap, thread a wire through it and make small loops at both ends with pliers. We thread a small ring into the loop, into which the chain is threaded.
After that, we fill our bottle and close it. We thread the chain. And our pendant is ready.
Master Class
Bead jewelery
We all know such techniques in creating jewelry as bead weaving.
It's quite interesting and at the same time easy. You can create interesting jewelry using beads. Which will look original, and will not be difficult to make. We will describe several examples, and it’s up to you to choose.
Here, for example, is a pattern woven from beads, the color scheme changes according to your desire.
The necklace will look just as simple and delicate if you take three pieces of fishing line of the same length, scissors, a hook and a lock for the ends. Tie the ends together and fill each one completely with beads and seed beads. Then weave these threads just not tightly, fasten the ends together and attach the lock.
And if initially there are much more than three such threads, for example 13 pieces, then this is what kind of voluminous necklace you will get.
Another interesting pattern is weaving a cord; it can be either a bracelet or a necklace.
And by connecting three such strands with a wide lock, we get an original bracelet.
Earrings made from beads are also no less exciting.
Original jewelry made of epoxy resin
Epoxy resin is often used in Hand Maid techniques; jewelry made from it looks extraordinary and feminine.
Outwardly, it resembles glass, which makes it possible to create interesting jewelry with decor inside. It is also a strong and unbreakable material, which is why designers value it so much.
And so let's move on to manufacturing. Take epoxy resin so as not to waste time on preparation, buy ready-made in a tube. Choose a silicone mold of the shape you want your pendant to be. It can be round, oval, flat, ball-shaped, and others.
Select the decor for your pendant in advance; it can be dried flowers, an image, or small figures.
And here in front of you is a prepared form; pour a thin layer of resin into it. Do not forget about safety precautions, work with gloves. Sometimes the resin is sold separately from the hardener, in which case you will need to mix it together.
Then we stir the decor on top and cover it with another layer of resin. Then place the mold in the switched off oven, preheated to 85 degrees, for 20 minutes. You can cover the top of the mold with foil so that the process proceeds evenly.
After time has passed, we can begin the final stage, attaching the fittings. In order not to spoil the product, take care of the hole in advance. Before baking, insert a skewer in the desired place and then remove it.
Then insert a small ring into this hole and you can thread a lace or chain or earring mount into it. In the same way you can make an interesting ring.
Creative ideas from polymer clay
Polymer clay is one of the favorite materials of our needlewomen. It is quite plastic and therefore is in great demand when making jewelry.
It is also easy to sculpt details or small decorative figures from it, and it is also excellent for imprinting various textures. A rich palette will allow you to choose the desired shade.
To work, we need clay, a knife, a board, a roller for rolling, and gloves so as not to leave marks on the product.
Before you begin, knead the clay with your hands to make it more flexible.
Take a small piece of clay and roll it out with a roller on a board or a special machine.
And then cut out the figures you need or give them the shape you need.
Then transfer the figures to a sheet covered with parchment or glass, and place in the oven preheated to 115 degrees for 20 minutes.
The product can be left in the oven to cool. After cooling, the product can be painted with acrylic paints. Then attach your piece to a ring, earrings or fittings to create a pendant.

Many people notice that the older they get, the more difficult it is to re-experience that magical feeling of a fairy tale and miracle that always came to us as children on New Year's Eve.
But we're in website We are sure that the New Year's mood will not keep you waiting if you make one of these wonderful decorations for your home and Christmas tree with your own hands. Almost all of them, with the exception of two or three, do not require much time and any special materials - they can be made in half an hour from what is at hand.
Stars made of threads
Wreath made of balloons and an old hanger

Tablecloth made of snowflakes
A delicate and surprisingly festive tablecloth will be made from snowflakes, which we have gotten our hands on since childhood.

A wonderful solution for entertaining guests or just having lunch with the family during the holidays.
Multi-colored hats
The cutest colored hats can be made from leftover yarn, which can be used to make a garland for a Christmas tree or to decorate a wall. Or hang them on a window or chandelier at different levels. Children over five years old will also be great at making this simple decoration. See details.
- You will need: a roll of toilet paper for rings (or regular cardboard or thick paper), scissors, colorful yarn and a good mood.
Lamp “Snowy City”

A great idea for decorating a Christmas tree or as a gift for relatives and friends. The photo needs to be rolled into a tube so that it fits into the hole of the ball, and then straightened out with a wooden stick or tweezers.

New Year's lamps
And this miracle is a matter of five minutes. It is enough to collect balls, fir branches, cones and put them in a transparent vase (or a cute jar) and add glowing garlands.
Embers
Glowing garlands, hidden among cones, branches and pine paws, create the effect of smoldering coals in the fireplace or a cozy fire. They even seem to be heating up. For this purpose, a basket that has been lying on the balcony for a hundred years, a nice bucket or, for example, a wicker container for small items from Ikea will be suitable. You will find everything else (except for the garland, of course) in the park.
Floating candles
A very simple decoration for the New Year's table or for a cozy evening with friends during the New Year holidays - a composition with candles floating in a vessel with water, cranberries and pine branches.

Cool
Almost every girl can boast of extensive “bins” with very necessary things - scattered earrings, cute beads, bright buttons, ribbons, laces, pieces of lace and unusual fabric. It’s a pity to throw away such “riches”, but it’s unclear where to use them. But you shouldn’t despair, because it’s easy to make unusual and, most importantly, exclusive jewelry from these little things.
Surely many have heard about handmade, but did not dare to do it for fear that their plan would not be successful. But creating original jewelry with your own hands is not as difficult and time-consuming as it might seem at first glance. Materials and simple tools for needlework can be found in sewing stores and supermarkets, or ordered online. And then an endless flight of imagination takes over and exciting creativity begins.
Stylish handmade jewelry always attracts genuine interest and attention to its owner. And such a gift to loved ones and friends will be doubly pleasant, since it was created with certain emotions.
This publication contains several step-by-step master classes on how to transform unclaimed items and simple accessories into a unique and effective neck accessory.
Asymmetrical necklace
To make an asymmetrical necklace inspired by the “Diorganic Leafy Waterfalls” necklace from the spring-summer 2014 collection of the Dior brand, you will need very little - plastic beads strung on a thread, reminiscent of pearls, a headband covered with fabric to match the beads, a thread with a needle, scissors, thick fabric of a suitable color and glue.
Creating a necklace does not require a lot of effort, but it will take a little time - since you need to carefully sew on each individual bead segment.
First of all, you need to measure and cut fragments of different lengths from the main thread. Then each of them needs to be folded so that one edge is shorter than the other and you can begin to attach them to the base.
First, long sections are sewn to the edge of the rim and gradually you need to move it in the middle, while the length of the bead threads decreases.
Long fragments are also basted from the opposite end of the rim, creating a beautiful asymmetrical line - long in front and short in back.
When the main work is finished and all the threads are attached, you need to make the final touch - sheathing the rim on the inside with thick fabric to cover all the errors and uneven seams.
Stylish bean necklace
To make a lasting impression with your appearance, you don’t have to wear designer clothes; you can just complete your look with an original necklace. And what could be more original than a decoration made from beans?
In order to make such a non-standard creation with your own hands, you should stock up on the following components:
- printed necklace template,
- beans,
- gold-colored beads,
- sheet of thin plastic 2-3 mm thick,
- neon colored nail polish,
- chain with fastening,
- stationery knife,
- Super glue,
- tweezers,
- hole punch for eyelets.
Before starting work, you should paint the beans with varnish and wait until they dry.
Then you need to print out the necklace template and attach a sheet of plastic to it.
On a transparent surface, you need to carefully glue one bean after another, after greasing them with glue.
After this, fill the remaining spaces with beads. You need to form the necklace in parts - first assemble the circles, and then fill in the small details.
Let the filled blank dry for a couple of hours. When the semi-finished product is completely dry, it must be placed on a cutting board and carefully cut along the contour of the glued components. Finally, you need to drill holes along the edges of the necklace and insert the chain mount into them.
Cord necklace
A cord necklace seems so banal and familiar that you simply don’t want to buy another one for your collection. But even such a hackneyed model can be diversified by decorating the rope with sequins and beads to match.
For the alteration, you will need two types of twisted laces in black, one of them with gold thread, large sequins in the same palette, thread and needle to match, suitable beads, scissors, pliers, glue and clasps for the necklace.
First, you need to measure the length of the ropes to suit your size, while the pure black one should be longer than the other. Then you need to glue the ends for the fastener onto the longer cord.
Black sequins should be sewn to the strand interspersed with gold thread, stepping back a few centimeters from the edge.
On top of the sewn sequins, several more sequins are attached, only in gold color, and stored beads.
And the final touch - a lace with sequins and beads is carefully sewn to the main cord with fasteners.
Macrame necklace
A necklace made using the macrame technique looks interesting on your neck.
To make such a decoration you will need 5 types of strands of different textures and colors, a chain, scissors, pliers, a tailor's tape measure, tape and clasps for a necklace.
First you need to measure and cut the desired length of the chain to suit you.
Fold the chain in half and place all the laces in a row perpendicularly on it.
Then make a zashmorg and secure the chain to the surface with tape and you can start weaving, as in the pictures below.
When all the laces are twisted, you should adjust the length by cutting off the excess.
Then attach the clasps to the chain.
Necklace with sparkles
A necklace with sparkles will create a festive mood and perfectly complement any look.
The materials you will need are glitter, matte decoupage glue, a tassel, a base for a necklace, pliers, clasps and a chain. Apply a drop of glue to the metal base, fill the entire surface with it and sprinkle with glitter. When the first layer has dried, you need to remove the remaining glitter from the workpiece and repeat the procedure with glue again, and so on until the glitter fills all the space in the base.
Attach the chain and clasps to the already dried semi-finished product.
Alternatively, you can use crushed glass instead of glitter.
To create such a necklace, pieces of glass, a hammer, a base pendant for a necklace, matte glue, nail polish, nail polish remover, cotton swabs or a disk will come to the rescue. Grind the glass with a hammer and repeat the same as with the glitter.
After the structure has dried, you can paint the glass in the color of your choice, and carefully remove the remaining varnish with liquid.
There is probably no woman who does not dream of being special and unique. You can create your own individual style and add a twist to any standard wardrobe with the help of handmade jewelry. Handmade jewelry has always been valued, and over the last few years it has been a fashion trend and not without reason, because it carries the author’s design and the warmth of the hands.
Learning how to create jewelry is not at all difficult; this fascinating process provides enormous scope for self-expression and creativity. Having mastered the technique jewelry making, you will be able to create a designer accessory, be it a necklace, earrings or bracelet, to go with any outfit, not only for yourself, but also for your loved ones. Don’t forget about the benefits of such a hobby: ready-made sets of jewelry made from natural stones are quite expensive; it’s much more profitable to make them yourself, choosing materials and designs to your liking.
Jewelry can be created using a wide variety of techniques: modeling (polymer clay, ceramics), lampwork (melting glass beads), Wire work (working with wire and metal), they can be made from textiles, leather, beads, epoxy resin and other materials. But all these techniques require certain knowledge and experience. The easiest way is to create a decoration from ready-made elements; this is accessible to everyone, even if you have never held pliers in your hands.
What do you need to start making jewelry? In addition to a little patience and a little more time, you will also need materials. They must be of high quality and specialized.
Currently, there is a huge selection of modern and interesting materials to realize any jewelry fantasy.
Of course, you can take old beads lying around at home and string them on a fishing line, securing the entire structure with a knot, but it is unlikely that such a “decoration” will last you long and will more likely resemble a craft rather than an original work.
The choice of elements should be taken carefully so as not to get confused with their impressive assortment, use these simple tips
When choosing beads, take into account their color combinations with each other, and also calculate the required number based on the length of the product.
First you need to decide on the most important component of the future decoration - beads. They can be of completely different shapes, sizes, made of natural stones, glass, acrylic, faceted, smooth, etc. When choosing beads, take into account their color combinations with each other, and also calculate the required number based on the length of the product.
Decide on the basis of the decoration. Basically, when creating bijou, two types of assembly are used: professional jewelry cable (it is thin, but very strong and flexible) (f.6), or assembly on pins and pins(more labor-intensive method).
If the beads used are too heavy, you can use wire.
Once the beads have been selected, you can proceed to selecting metal fittings. It comes in silver, bronze and copper shades. Silver fittings are suitable for classic jewelry; bronze and copper shades are perfect for creating jewelry in ethnic and vintage styles. With the help of various metal elements, jewelry looks more interesting and rich. Such elements include caps for beads, rondels, spacer beads, connectors(with their help you can make multi-row beads and bracelets), frames for beads.
The central element of a necklace always looks interesting - a pendant; it can be one, or several at once; for attaching the pendants you will need bails and holders.
Locks come in various options: toggle, carabiner lock, hook, magnetic lock, etc. The most convenient toggle lock, but you should keep in mind that a product with such a lock will have a fixed length, and with the help carabiner lock and the length of the extending chain can be slightly changed. Magnetic clasps look stylish and neat, but are only suitable for light jewelry; if heavy, they can come unfastened, and this is completely uncomfortable.
