How to Create Your OWN Jewelry - Steampunk Style!

Hey Mixed Media Society member!!

Have you ever made your own jewelry before?

If you haven't, you're in for a real treat!! Today's NEW LESSON finally brings the world of Steampunk to the Mixed Media Society. It's SO much fun!! I actually got a little carried away with today's lesson and ended up making TWELVE different styles of jewelry to inspire you. 

I recommend you just sit back and watch the lesson videos first to see what speaks to you. Then, gather some supplies and art your heart out!!

Supplies

After you see a design you'd like to try, it's time for a little shopping online, or at your local craft store (don't worry- we can TOTALLY do this on the cheap!).

Glue: 
I've tested a few different types of glue for jewelry making over the years, and Diamond Glaze has been my favorite.

I also like this one to use as an adhesive for gluing things down like craft paper. 

 Jewelry Set Ideas: 

• I found some adorable jewelry kits on Amazon, like this cute set of 24 vintage skeleton keys with glass dome tiles for just $9.99. 
• I thought this set was fun too, for a little variety and just another $10. 

Have fun looking at different options :) You can also find sets like this on Etsy that could be really unique to play with too!

Craft Paper: 
You totally don't need this, but it's fun to experiment with. You can also use some collage paper, or pieces of vintage book paper. I discovered that thinner paper worked best, so you might want to keep that in mind. I loved this little collection of papers I found on Amazon.

Cords & Chains:
If you're doing necklaces, your options here are endless. I suggest buying in bulk if you want to keep this whole thing inexpensive. There are tons of economical choices at your local craft store too.

​Not in the Mood for Jewelry Making?

No prob!! There are SO many projects for you to enjoy in the Mixed Media Society. Hop over to the Visual Index and have a little scroll through the ideas until you find something you LOVE!! 

Sometimes I find creative inspiration by looking at what other artists are painting! If you don't do Facebook but are curious what other club members have been sharing over the last week, here's a glance at what they've been working on....

So fun, right?!

What's Comin' Up in March?

We've got 2 more awesome Steampunk projects coming out later this month, including a mixed media key painting on canvas.
