HUGE Announcement/Surprise & Michaels Haul!

Hi everyone!! I'm sooooo excited!! And also very sorry for the slow activity on my craft site but that's because I've been working on a huge project and I'm super excited to announce it now!! I'm going to start a crafting business!!!!! I'm going to sell on etsy and even make my own brand!! It's going to be polymer clay charms and jewelry!! So to stock up on some supplies..I went to Michaels!! Haul time!

 This is just an overview of everything I got! Since its a business and not just a hobby anymore I spent a LOT of money but its totally okay..so lets get started!

 The first thing is this jewelry kit, it has the tools, beads, wire, and even the board to make jewelry! I'm super excited! It was $16 which is a little expensive but its a kit and if I bought everything seperately then it would have costed more so this was the best option!

 Next is this bead organizer that I got to store beads in and I already have a couple of these that I bought for polymer clay charms so I knew that these were the best to store beads in also.

 Then for jewelry making I also got some extra cording and some extra closures..

 Now for polymer clay charms I just got a pack of eyepins.

 Sculpey gloss glaze for polymer clay charms!

 Now this I'm SUPER excited about also..its the sculpey working mat and this was $15 but it's totally worth it because its the perfect surface for making professional clay charms!

 I got a bunch of clay in some colors that I needed!

Then finally a roller that was $7 but its super worth it because its great for making professional clay charms!

That's it for my haul! Now about my business I'm going to do a seperate post about that! LOTS of exciting news!! That's all for now! Keep On Crafting!!

Bracelets!

Hi Everyone! So today I'm sharing some bracelets! These bracelets are really cool because they can be handmade,are really quick to make and they look professional! To make a bracelet I have directions below.

Materials:

• Bracelet chain (should be 1-2 inches bigger then the size of your wrist)
• Scissors
• Craftlace in the color of your choice (an inch bigger then the chain)
• Jumprings and pliers (below is a pic of what jumprings are(only pic i had of them so it might be out of place), their used to close the bracelet and are pretty much little round metal rings)

*The materials can be found at craft stores such as Michaels, Hobby Lobby and Joann.

Directions:
1) Cut chain using pliers to 1-2 inches bigger then the size of your wrist.
2) Cut craftlace using scissors to an bigger then the chain.
3) Wrap the craftlace up and down through the chain holes until the end.
4) Cut any extra craftlace that's hanging from the chain.
5) Using pliers, attach a jumpring to the last hole on a side of the chain then to close the bracelet, attach the jumpring to the last hole on the other side of the chain. The bracelet should be done after this. :)

That's how you make the bracelet! I was just going to show the pics of the bracelets but also decided to do a small tutorial. If the directions aren't clear enough, I might do a video but it won't be this month.
Onto the pics of the bracelets, that you haven't seen yet!

 These are the bracelets I made so far. The 2 on the bottom are finished while the one on the top still needs to be finished.

                                                      Here's the blue bracelet.

                                                         And the pink bracelet.

                                       Then the blue bracelet that I'm not done with yet.

   Here's how it looks at the end, the little round ring attaching the 2 sides is the jumpring.

 And here's how it looks pretty when you make more then one and layer them up in different colors.
AWESOME :)

     And last but definitely not least, a smiley out of the bracelets that you made :)
