stress reliever

So this application process for the NBCOT has been ridiculous and quite stressful. In my spare time i've actually managed to pick up an old hobby of mine. Especially since Jo-Ann Fabrics had a huge sale on jewelry making tools and beads. I got even more inspired when i went to the art and craft festival in Baltimore. A whole bunch of independent artists from ETSY was there and i learned as much as i could from them. so here are a few things i made.

Try making the silver bangles above. All you need is:

flat-nose pliers
wire cutters
beads of your choice (12)
3 silver decorative beads
34 gauge wire
3 silver bracelets (which i actually got 12 for 4 dollars from forever 21)

The 34 gauge wire is used to wrap the beads around the bracelet. Use the pliers to put the wire through the bead and then around the bracelet...then bring the wire around the bead and wrap it until you get to the end of the wire. spread the beads out.

The end product should look like this. It really is easy, try it out! you just have to play around with it. Have fun!
