Posted: 19 May 2012 04:00 AM PDT

Many of us love wearing jewelry sets - you know, matching necklace and earrings or bracelet with earrings or the whole lot together. But if you ever wanted to match jewelry to your favorite handbags instead, then you just have to check out Stephanie's 3 awesome tutorials over at The Silly Pearl and be inspired.

She was so enthralled with expensive designer handbags she had seen while shopping, she just had to create bracelet equivalents of her favorites. Perhaps one day, she might be able to afford them but for now, she has her stunning bracelets to remember them by!

Her detailed and well photographed tutorials for each of the bracelets are linked in her post. The featured bags include Stella McCartney's pink Falabella, Fendi's Patchwork Peekaboo and Valentino's Nuage bags. The selection certainly shows her great taste in fashion accessories and the tutorials, her crafting skills.

Fun Memory Wire Bracelet Making Party for Little Girls

Posted: 18 May 2012 03:00 PM PDT

Elle was turning 8 and she really wanted to have a jewelry making party for her friends. So Debbie and I went over to help her mother organize one for her. It was a blast! The girls had time not only to make memory wire bracelets but also some other crafts. They were busy little bees!

The girls had loads of beads to choose from and they did not take too long to complete bracelets for themselves. Children this age aren't afraid to pick what they like. As we have often observed, kids are far more confident about making things. They just do it unlike some adults who tend to second guess themselves. Children never ask "Do you think this looks okay?" . They are more apt to say "Look what I did!"
