Hello! I'm Brianna, and I blog over at CraftandRepeat.

Boho Beaded Bracelet

I don't know about you, friends, but my summer wardrobe consists of a variety of different colors.  I've got some coral, some yellow, lots of turquoise, some pink, various shades of blue, and even some black and white.  So, I decided to make myself a bracelet that would match just about anything so that I can grab it and go, knowing it will look great no matter what I'm wearing for the day.  In the end, it actually ended up being two bracelets that I can either wear individually or stacked.  Here's how I made them, and you can too!

Styled by Tori Spelling Jewelry: Easy as 1-2-3!

 Who loves jewelry?  You all know I sure do!  And even more fun than buying it is making it yourself!  I'm constantly getting comments from readers who are interested in making their own bling, but don't know where to start or are intimidated by the tools and techniques.  Honestly, it's not nearly as difficult as it seems. And today, I've got an extra-special treat for you, especially all the novices out there who have been afraid to try your hand at it...I'm going to show you a great way to start that requires NO tools and NO special skills.  It's literally as easy as 1-2-3.

Ready?

It's called the Styled by Tori Spelling jewelry line, and you can get it at exclusively at JoAnn Fabric and Craft Stores.  I recently got to sample a bunch of the pieces from Tori's new line {yes, I have the best job in the world!} and I couldn't believe how simple it was to create amazing statement pieces in thirty seconds or less.

Here's how it works.  We're going to start by making a necklace.
You need three pieces:
1. A chain
2. A necklace bottom
3. Connectors

Treasures of the Ocean Jewelry Set

Hey, friends!  You know how much I love the beach, and as much as I thoroughly enjoyed our recent vacation, I'm kind of bummed that it's already over for this year.  So, when I saw these gorgeous green shell beads that remind me of the ocean, I thought I'd make myself a jewelry set that will make me think of my favorite place all summer long, even when I'm not there.
