Making Jewelry

[spck33]

I have been making my own jewelry for about 2/3 yrs. now, and am also a big BB fanatic. I have a shirt, throw, bracelet, and necklace already but I am wanting to find some stuff like beads, charms, etc. in the line of making jewelry myself.
Everywhere I go no one can't help me out so could someone here give me some ideas on where to look for the stuff I want? Any help or pointers woul greatly be appreciated. Thank You:)

Great pattern! :D I saw some charms on ebay. Have you looked there?

And Amazon.com has some BB gold charms, cell phone charms, wine glass chrams, belly ring charms...

I also make my own jewerly and love exploring new ways to create things. If they are to hard to find then I make my own. One idea, to get a smaller charm out of the pattern that was posted above, use seed beeds with silver shimmer. You can also recreate that same pattern with loom work. However, that depends on your skill level.

Another idea. A medium that I use is epoxy resin. It is a 3 step process that allows you to make your own beads and incase anything you want with in the bead. You can find the medium in a Michaels and some selective craft stores.

You can get stickers or simply print out different photos, shrink them and crop them and then incase them. There are natural dyes that you can add to the last step to create more drama if you would like as well.

If you go that route and also sell your jewerly, I would seek out rights to the copyrights so that you are not getting in any trouble that way.

When I find time in the next couple of days I will send the websites to check out the resin if you are interested.

Good luck and HAPPY CREATING!:D
