Bracelets for Craft Hope

While surfing the web for craft ideas I found a website called Craft Hope. Here is a little bit of what it's all about. (Taken from their website)

Craft Hope is a love inspired project designed to share handmade crafts with those who need them.  It is our hope to combine our love for crafting and desire to help others into a project to make a difference around the world.

 

For Project 12, we are partnering with Orphan Outreach and sending them with a little love to take to Russia. This time we will be making bracelets for them to pass out to kids. Bracelets are a huge hit with kids of all ages — hemp bracelets or beaded bracelets. They are going on a trip in August and have asked us to collect bracelets for them.

So here are my 25 bracelets that I'm sending out! They are made from silicone bracelets & I wrapped them in fabric!

Bracelet & Earring Set

I've been up to a little Jewelry making lately. This is a would a great set for St. Patricks Day..

I Won!

I won this fabulous Paper Beaded Necklace from mesewcrazy Isn't it Beautiful.. I had never seen anything like this before. I'm going to do some research on how to make these and try my hand at it.. Can you imagine the possibilities with all the cool pattern paper these days?

Cluster Charm

Isn't this Cluster Charm Stunning.. I know your dying to find out where you can get one too.. I got this one from auntpegsjewelry Website. It's even more pretty in person. I wore it today and got tons of compliments.. They sell a bunch of different colors and styles and they are so affordable and are awesome quality. I LOVE IT. They have a Etsy Shop too.. Aunt Pegs Etsy Now run &  buy yourself something nice, you deserve it ;)

Lace Necklaces

I just had to show off this cool Lace Bib Necklace my daughter made. She made 3 seperate lace flowers and glued a chain to the back covered in felt. Then she added a bunch of pearls in different colors to spruce it up a bit.

Beaded Fabric Necklace

I watched a show on Studio 5 that had these fabulous Beaded Fabric Necklaces & I knew I had to make some! I wanted this one to be a little longer so instead of knotting in between each bead I used black mini hair rubber bands. Here is an awesome How to video I got from studio5 from the girls at youcanmakethis I want to be just like these crafty girls when I grow up ;))

A gift for a Friend

I had to laugh.. My teenage son asked me to make his "Friend" at school a pair of earrings for Christmas. He specifically asked for pink as that is her favorite color. So I got out my growing stash of beads and got to work. I figured she needed a matching bracelet too. He was so thrilled to take this to school for her. It made his whole day that she wore it the next day ;)

Western Charm Bracelet

Another fun Beaded project.

End of the year Teacher gift idea..

Trevor wanted a special gift to give to one of his teachers for her Birthday, so I whipped up this fun chunky bracelet for her & she love it! These would be a inexpensive, quick gift for an end of the year gift too!
