Update on jewelry making

Well this hasn’t been a very good week at all for any type of crafting. I have done absolutely nothing! I have both the kids home this week and when their around, I just can’t concentrate. And we all know that when your creating jewelry, you need a lot of concentration. But they both will be going back to art camp next week so I’m hoping I’ll get more accomplished when they are out of the house.
I only have enough wire left over to make five more bracelets and then I’m done for a while. I would like to be able to sell some of the inventory I have in stock now before purchasing any more supplies. So after these bracelets are made I am then going to take a stab at trying to make some earrings. With the links that Jeannine so graciously supplied me with, I’m hoping I can teach myself.
So I’m just going to enjoy this nice up coming weekend with the family (camping) and on Monday I’ll be back at the crafts.
ps. Happy 4th of July to all my American blogging buddies. I hope you all have a fun and save holiday weekend!

hi! i make jewelry and i read on how you don’t know how to make earrings.
well what you have to do it take scissors. or sorry i don’t know the specific terminology but maybe they would clippers. well take those and make your a bit of a whole. its kinda self explained but i can see were it is confusing. if you have the sticks that have the end pieces then just make your loop at the end. your loops will look better after the more you do it.

Happy July 4th to you, too!
As for having more inventory than you need before buying more supplies, why don’t you set up an Etsy? I know I’ve sold way more there than I ever would have on my own.
And learning to make earrings? I know you got some good links already but I can’t remember if she told you to check out the tutorials at Fire Mountain Gems or not. They helped me greatly!
Take care!
