Kristi was browsing through an online retailer looking for inspiration and came across a cool wood bead necklace. Of course she said, “Hey, I can make that!”

This necklace can be done in under ten minutes. What’s not to like?

Supplies:

Mix variety of wood beads. We have a ton of options to choose from. Each 3×5 bag  is stuffed full of beads and costs $3.95

Gold plated beads cost .11 each

Gold plated lobster and jump ring are .53

Gold plated fold over ends are .15 ea, you need two.

Gold plated beading chain is $1.30/foot

Directions are very easy. Cut your beading chain into the desired length. Lay out your pattern for you beads. String and finish with the fold over ends and add your jump ring and lobster! Kristi saw this necklace for $35 online!

I am starting a new series of posts every Wednesday titled This into That. It will feature simple and easy projects that anyone can do! Here is your first installment of This into That.

This very cute memory wire bangle only has three elements and only takes 10 minutes or so to complete. How easy is that?

First you need your supplies:

Memory Wire – We carry silver, gold and bright copper for a package with 12 turns for $2.95. This bangle is 5 turns which leaves the rest of the package for further projects.

Jewelry Tubing – 5 yards come in a package and costs a mere $2.25. For this project you use maybe 2 feet of tubing so you have a lot to make more bangles.

Seed beads – For this bangle we used a mixed tube of colors, sizes and shapes which costs $7.40 but you use so few the tube can be used for many other projects.

Directions are simple. Cut the memory wire into the amount of turns you want to use, cut the jewelery tubing into different lengths and started threading on the tubing pieces and seed beads in any order! Quick, easy and inexpensive to make!
