Alabama Themed Jewelry

I enjoy making Alabama themed jewelry.  Keep in mind I am an Alabama fan, but I do not own the copyright to any of these images.  This is a hobby of mine and all of the jewelry I am showing in this post I have either given to family or kept for myself.


This is one of my favorite Alabama themed bracelets I have made. I used lampwork glass houndstooth print beads, black glass beads with a smooth matte coating, a resin faceted beads with an Alabama "A," and a metal football charm that has the phrase "I Love (heart) Football."

This bracelet is like the first one, except I used red beads instead of black.


I made the above bracelet and earrings set for one of my sisters for Christmas one year. I like how they turned out. 


 This was a fun bracelet to make. I used resin houndstooth print beads, and took an Alabama themed cabochon, added a pendant bail to the back and strung both onto stretchy jewelry cord. 






The earrings pictured was one of my first attempts decorating hook earrings. I bought a read pair of heart hoop earrings and secured resin cabochons to the front of them. 

The bangle pictured was fun to make. I took a bangle and wrapped houndstooth print ribbon around it. I secured the ribbon to the bangle using glue.  Next I glued the Alabama cabochon to the front of the bangle.



Thanks for coming by!

John 3:16 Inspired Keychain



I made this key chain several months ago and decided to keep it for myself instead of selling it.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but, have everlasting life."  John 3:16

DIY Keychain Holder Display


In April of this year I set up a booth at the Strawberry Festival in Castleberry, Alabama. I needed displays for my jewelry and accessories, so I went to Pinterest to find a tutorials for making displays.  I found a display for earrings and thought it would be perfect to modify the display to use for displaying my handmade keychains.  

Material:  

1. Flower Vases.
2. Wooden Dowels. 
3. Glass Stones. 
4. Cloths Pins. 

 

I filled the flower vases half way with decorative glass stones, next I sat a wooden dowel in the center of the vase and added more glass stones around it to hold the dowel in place.  Next I added cloths pins to the wooden dowels. 
 

For this display I added more cloths pins. 
 
 One display filled with my keychains!

Second Keychain Holder Display. 

Simple, easy DIY Project to help make display tables at festivals look nice and organized.
