Diy ~ necklace/bracelet holder

So I have ventured into youtube, and have my own channel set up, and have been uploading a few videos and have my first DIY up. I had a couple of these necklace holders already made, but they were too small, and cluttered looking, so I decided to make a bigger one, and did it in a video. (I am still trying to get used to seeing myself on camera... ugh) Anywho, hope you enjoy! And if you like, please subscribe to my youtube channel (trying to grow my fan base.... )



The finished product:

Ideas

I love looking at sites to get ideas for possible gifts I can make for much less; always the "cheapskate"!! LOL I know that I have made jewelry for the inlaws for Christmas gifts, but I am thinking about making jewelry again this year and have been checking out joyjewelers.com for some ideas. Hopefully I have enough jewelry making stuff on hand so I don't have to go out and buy too much. Money is tight this year, so trying to come up with some lesser expensive gifts for everyone!

Bracelet

I made this bracelet for myself, after seeing how expensive they were on an online site. I ordered the charms from the site, but went and purchased all of the beads and made this one and one other for less than the price they wanted for one. I even have enough beads left over to make another one, but not sure my mom inlaw can handle it, as we are all going through a rough time with the cancer diagnosis.

Craft to do list

I have a long list of crafts that I want to make, if only I had time! This part time job, ach rules my life right now. If only the hours were for earlier in the day, then I think I could find the time to craft!

My list:

Knit items

socks (just about have the first pair done, so excited!)
baker sock monkey
stuffed elephant
hats
fingerless gloves/mitts
slippers
sweater (style to be determined)

Scrapbooking

Get caught up, with what pictures I have printed thus far, then to tackle the thousands upon thousands that need to be printed.

Jewelry

Button bracelet (saw on Pinterest)

One day I will be able to just sit and craft!

Beads, beads and more beads

I would love to have an assortment of this many beads! So many necklaces, bracelets and earrings I could make!
