Vintage Jewelry Christmas Wreath Tutorial

Making your own wreath for the holidays is one thing. But making it with beads and vintage jewelry seems especially appropriate if jewelry making is your passion! Mitzi, who writes the Mitzi's Miscellaneous blog has a really inspiring yet easy tutorial on how to make a vintage jewelry Christmas wreath.


She starts off with a wreath foam form and covered it with some pearl garlands.  Her post shows some variations as she played with what she could add on.

One thing is certain.  This has inspired me to go to garage sales and maybe estate sales to pick up old jewelry. I would love to cover an entire wreath with vintage bling!

Hunger Games Inspired Locket Tutorial

Catching Fire,the second film adaptation of  Suzanne Collin's Hunger Games trilogy just opened.  I haven't seen it yet and will look forward to it.  It promises to be as exciting as the second book was. More so because of the imaginative and action packed trials.  It's not a movie for the little ones, that's for sure.


Well, feeding the fire - if you will forgive the pun - are the fans. I'd expect to see more Hunger Games inspired jewelry as the series progresses.  Here is a new one for the collection so far.  Adrianne over at  Happy Hour Projects  has a Hunger Games locket tutorial.

What is cool about her design is the use of a see-through locket (from Goody Beads). She used 2 bird charms to represent the mockingjays but otherwise made the others which are symbolic to the books and films,  using shrink plastic.   The general idea can also be used for any other themed jewelry.

Here is the movie trailer :
