Craft and Gossip. Host Jewelry Parties?

How about Hosting a Jewelry Party with Friends?

Get a group of girlfriends together and share ideas on jewelry making. Host a party at your house, provide cheese and wine, and everyone can sit around the table with supplies, dangling wire, and an assortment of beads. Handcraft gold hoop earrings, minimalist wire jewelry, necklaces, silver rings, or stainless steel bracelets. Add colorful charms or painted beads to ultra thin wire. Learn to use minimalist wire to create ultra thin jewelry.   

What about show and tell? 

Share your latest projects with each other, demonstrate how to mold polymer clay, paint beads, or bend wire. Try it as a game, go around the room one by one and show off your handmade crafts. The best part is everyone has a turn to show off stylish knitted sweaters, socks, baby blankets, hats, scarves and more. Who doesn't like to brag about their crafting ability or special handmade jewelry?

Think of jewelry parties as knitting clubs where women gather together to knit, talk gossip, and eat. Who doesn't love spilling the beans about their coworkers, in-laws, or husbands? 

Add a potluck to make it more fun. Everyone can bring a dish to pass, dig in and don't forget the cheesecake! If everything goes well, host another party and make it a monthly get together.

Are you a Jewelry Designer?

As a Jewelry Designer, there are so many opportunities to handcraft earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. You can choose several different colors of wire and beads. It's a very artsy craft that caters to so many ideas.  I've been working on creating unique designs for my jewelry for over 7 years.


QUESTIONS FOR YOU:
1. Are you a Jewelry Designer?
2. What do you make?
3. How did you get started?
4. Why is jewelry making appealing for you?

Now I think of jewelry making as a relaxing and calming hobby that helps to take the stress away. When I get home from work after a long day, I enjoyed going into my 'craft area' to sort colors, organize my bead drawers, and bend my wire to make designs.

Now it's your turn to share about yourself!
