Christmas Jewelry Gifts

I was a jewelry-making fiend this year for Christmas. I made tons and tons and tons of earrings and bracelets, and even a few hair pins! These were all very simple to make, and they all came together very quickly. And I had so much fun making my own earring cards from pretty scrapbook paper! Here are some (but not all) of the ones that went out to loved ones this year.


Okay, this is not jewelry, but it's the bag I made to package up Lily's teacher's gift (the first two pairs of earrings pictured below). I used my Gift Bag Punch Board (tutorial coming soon) to make the bag, then punched the top with my Marvy Uchida Clever Lever Border Punch System. Then I wove ribbon through the slots and closed it with a bow at the front. Isn't it darling?

These started as cabochons I got crazy cheap at Tuesday Morning, and I added them to hair pin blanks.

These were little scrapbook embellishments.
 
Tiny seashells for the top pair and former scrapbooking brads for the bottom.

More brads.



Covered button embellishments and cabochons.



This started as a straight metal feather. I just rounded it over my wrist, punched holes for the leather cord and added crimps, jump rings, and a clasp.

I love the worn leather paired with the gold and floral.


Metal stickers made into earrings for our oldest resident Frozen fan.


Little bitty ones for Lily.

Extra large cabochons and hair pins.

Did you make any jewelry for gifts this year? Leave me a link in the comments - I'd love to see it!

  1. No jewelry making for me I'm afraid, although I'd love to learn how. All of your jewelry looks fantastic. I love it all!
