DIY Mixed Media & Fashion Costume Jewelry

If you love to create or you just want to be able to make your own unique and trendy jewelry at home, then I hope this page will inspire you. I'v compiled a list of tutorials for crafting fashion and costume jewelry which only require basic techniques and few tools so that even absolute beginners can accomplish a great result.

The materials used are extremely varied and the project ideas will hopefully inspire you to get creative with your designs - because after all there are so many materials that can be used including fabric, lockets, wire, chain, pearls, clay and paper.

The instructions also cover a wide range of styles, such as bib necklaces, dainty charm bracelets and statement earrings, so you will no doubt be able to find many ideas to suit your personal taste.

Hope you find this lens fun and useful :-)

Making Your Own Jewelry

An Introduction

Costume jewelry making is accessible to everyone and is a popular and fun hobby. For most projects you will need a pair of jewelry pliers with a flat inside edge, plus general items such as superglue (I use E6000) and scissors. There may be other basic tool requirements on top on that, but usually the DIYs are for completing by beginners at home.

To make your own jewelry means that you can keep up-to-date with fashion trends for much less money, plus you can make accessories that are completely unique to you. If you see a necklace, bracelet or pair of earrings you like in a high street shop then you can use it for inspiration to make your own homemade version.

Costume jewelry is often 'mixed media', meaning that it's made from a combination of different materials such as metal, clay, fabric, plastic etc. There aren't really any rules for what you can and cannot use so it's time to put your creativity and imagination into action!
