Even though I rarely wear jewelry, I still love a beautiful piece. When you wear pieces so rarely, it becomes something special that you do for yourself. Even adding a simple statement necklace to jeans and tee-shirt can boost your self esteem quickly and easily.

That’s why I think all moms should learn to make their own jewelry. Simple designs are best when you’re just starting out. Luckily, that’s exactly what this DIY druzy jewelry set is. There’s no complicated measuring or creations. Simple thread and glue and you’re done.

 

Pink Druzy Jewelry Set

Before you get started with jewelry making, you need to invest in a small tool set. I love and use this one from Bead Landing. It’s inexpensive but has everything you need to get started. Keep your tools together in a small bag or plastic box so that they don’t get mixed up with your other tools. I recommend using your jewelry tools only for creating, not on any household project or improvements.

 

Beads and Glue Next to Earring Posts

DIY Druzy Jewelry Set Materials

  • Sedona Natural Stone Beads
  • E6000
  • 2 Blank Earring Posts
  • Silver Wire (Make sure it is a small enough gauge to fit through your bead holes)
  • Jewelry Tools
  • Silver Jump Ring
  • Silver Chain

 

Pink Druzy Beads

Step 1

First, open and un-string your natural stone beads.

Step 2

Then choose two of the smallest natural stone beads and glue them to the earring posts with E6000. The stones are heavy. That is why you want the smallest ones in the set otherwise the earrings may be too heavy.

Step 3

Set the earrings aside to dry for at least 24 hours. Make sure they are stable during drying so that the beads don’t slide off.

Tip:

  • I like to use a small piece of foam and poke the earrings into it during drying. This keeps them stabilized and safe while drying.

Step 4

Next, cut a small length of wire and thread it through the hole in a third natural stone bead. The size of this one isn’t important. Choose the largest for a statement pendant or another small one for a daintier jewelry set.

Step 5

Then wrap the wire around itself as pictured to create an attachment for your jump ring. If there is any excess, trim it off with the wire cutters in your jewelry tool set.

Step 6

Open your jump ring with pliers from your jewelry tool set.

Lastly, slide your created pendant onto your silver chain and enjoy!

A few tools is all you need to get started and, more importantly, it’s a self care 2-fold. That’s pretty incredible when you think about it. So get ready to rock your next outing in style (even if it’s just to the grocery store).

Candy Flavored Homemade Lip Gloss Recipe

03.18.2019 by Marie // Leave a Comment

Tired of the kiddos stealing all of your lip balm? Surprise them with their own special lip gloss with this candy flavored homemade lip gloss recipe! It’s inexpensive to make, easy to personalize to your child’s tastes, and makes a great gift.

This candy flavored homemade lip gloss recipe has it all. It moisturizes dry lips, is shimmery, smells delicious, and is stored in a kid-friendly container. Click To Tweet

Of everything that could drive you crazy about being a mom, it’s always the little things that seem to be the worst, right? For me, it’s the kiddos messing up my lip balm. I don’t mind them using it if they ask and then hand it back to me to close when they’re done. Of course, that’s not how it goes most of the time.

My kids are constantly getting into my lip balm in my purse. I get super annoyed grabbing my Burt’s Bees and finding it messy and destroyed because little hands got to it. Part of the problem is they don’t twist the balm back down after they use it. Instead, they smash the lid back on and slip it into my bag.

These candy flavored homemade lip glosses are stored in small lidded pots instead of twist tubes. That makes them more kid friendly plus the containers are reusable. No more destroyed lip balm in your purse. Let your kiddos have their own lip gloss and leave yours alone.

  • Small Lidded Containers

Step 2

Next, add some cosmetic grade mica powder on top of the petroleum jelly.

Note:

  • I chose to use different colors for the different flavors. This is completely optional. You can use 1 color for all of the flavors although the candy flavor oil may change the color when mixed in.
