Teaching Thursdays: Lucky Charms Necklace
By Candie Cooper (See more from Candie on her blog, Candie Cooper's Journal)St. Patty's Day is coming up! Bring the luck of the Irish
your way with a sweet Lucky Charms Necklace. There are lots of lucky
charms to pick from in Plaid's Inspired Classics line found at JoAnn Fabrics
and select online stores.
I love the acrylic droplet charms for spring. You
can use them in jewelry or a pretty window ornament. You will need
a few charms and droplets for this necklace, plus a toggle clasp, larger
lobster clasps, a chain, ribbon and some jump rings. You will also
need a basic jewelry making plier set.
We will use only the loop end of the toggle--be sure to
check that the opening in the lobster clasps will fit over the toggle ring. Use a mixture of metals for a fun twist. This necklace has
antique brass, bright silver and gunmetal.
Attach a lobster clasp to each charm with a jump ring. This necklace doesn't use the cupcake charm, but it was too sweet
to leave out of. It really opens up so you can hide a little note
or treasure inside!
The acrylic drops come with a jump ring in tact. You
can always change it to whatever color metal you like. Wouldn't these
be pretty strung together for a rainbow necklace?!
Hang two dangles from a large jump ring and connect it
to a lobster clasp. Repeat as many times as you like!
Run a ribbon through the ends of the chain and tie in
a bow to form the necklace. This is a really easy closure method
for kids to do.
Attach a jump ring to the end of the toggle and connect
to the chain. Clip all the charms to the toggle ring, alternating
between acrylic and silver charms.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Web Wednesday: DIY Antiqued Apothecary Jars
Are you looking for a cost effective way to spruce up some jars? Well no need to look any further, we stumbled across these DIY Apothecary Jars that are very cute and easy to make. This would be a fun craft to perhaps make with your teenager, as opposed to your younger kids. It is a beginner level craft, and one where people can be as creative as you want. Change the color of jars, or add different stickers to the outside of the jars. This craft project was originally found over on Radcrafter. Click here to learn how to create this project.
