Summer is over and Fall is officially here, vacations have been taken and the kids are back in school. Did you visit a beach this Summer and bring back a few shells as souvenirs? And, do those souvenirs usually just end up in a box?

Now you can take those lovely shells from a favorite beach and wear them to remind you of the wonderful memories you made there. Katrinshine has created this lovely and easy to make pair of seashell earrings that you will pull out to wear over and over this Fall and Winter.

Shells, a tiny bit of chain, some earwires and a few tools (that you should already have in your beady toolbox) are all you need to create your own pair.

Simply lovely - don't you think?

Chunky Color Chain Bracelets

It's no secret I really like minimal designs, but sometimes nothing but blingy or chunky will do and I love these simple to make funky, chunky, colorful chain bracelets by Nest of Posies.

All you need is some chain and some Krylon Spray Paint.

The best thing is you can recycle an old chain bracelet (or necklace for that matter) or find one on your next trip to the thrift store.

DIY Hardware Store Bracelets

How many times have you been in your local hardware store, found an item and thought it would make some pretty cool jewelry?

Well, I know that Erin, the blogger at Thanks, I Made It! has. Check out this cool bracelet she made using some jewelry components, 1/4" compression sleeves and rope from the hardware store.
