How many necklaces should you wear at one time? And, i mean like to school or out and about. I don’t mean like a special event like a dance or something. Thanks!
2. no more than that, then it starts looking cluttered.
Generally the holes shrivel up when the gauges aren’t in the ears, sense 14g isnt that much bigger then a rugular ear piercing it shouldn’t be that noticable at all unless someone was actually trying to notice it. Any gauge size much bigger might look a litte funny though. But i’m sure if you put the back on tight enough on the normal earing it’ll stay in fine. Be aware that if you put in regular earings in a gauge, it’ll shrink back to it’s regular size eventually, especially if it’s been stretched recently.
I’m going to the mall tomorrow and I was wondering what store in the mall that I can get animal bracelets from? They’re also known as "silly bandz", if that helps!
oh those colorful elastics shaped as animals?
I saw those in dollerama. (if you live in Canada)
Or maybe a doller store where ever you live.
Edit: i just found them,
They don’t say silly bandz but they say animal shaped elastics. 12 pieces. with a dog, duck, rabbit, cat, pig, turtle.
And they say Dollarama on the plastic cover. Well, it can be a cheaper version of silly bandz :p
I understand that you have to already have a website but how to I go about setting one up is it that easy? Help would be appreciated
First of all what kind of website are you interested in creating? One that just showcases your jewellery or one that has a shopping cart? The shopping cart ones are more expensive and harder to set up. If you’re just starting to sell jewelry, I would suggest you start with a blog that you can cheaply and easily set up. Blogger would be one such place. Alternatively, you can set up an account on Etsy (www.etsy.com) where you can sell your wares for free, among many other friendly designers who love to make handmade items.
As for Amazon, I am pretty sure they pick and choose who they carry, as in they have a buyer who goes out every 3-6 months and picks the brands. Still, if you have a great portfolio I would contact their sales & PR department and try to get an interview. Just make sure you have GREAT photos or samples and you are 100% READY.
Best of luck !!!
I like to make bracelets from glass beads and the clear elastic beading material. When I use a fixative to secure the knot, the bracelet seems to break easily where the fixative is. It seems to become brittle. If I simply knot it, it becomes untied. I’d like to keep my creations, and not only wear once or twice. I also would like to know if anyone has any good suggestions for finishing off wired bracelets, as I always seem to finish off in an unattractive manner. Thanks!
There is a flat elastic called gossamar floss. It is strong and you use it with a fine flexable wire steel needle used for jewelry making. If you double the floss it makes the bracelet stronger. You have to take in account that when using glass beads and any elastic it will break soon or later. The weight of the beads causes the elastic to stretch after a period of time. I find that the gossamar floss works the best. You get a little more wear out of the bracelets than other beading elastic.
P.S. Don’t use crimps beads on elastic. You are only cutting through the elastic.

As far as finishing off wired bracelets. I am assuming you are using wire like softflex or bead-a-lon.
If so, they sell wire guards. They finish the end of the wire so there is no wire showing when you go through your clasp and back through your crimp bead. Also, if you don’t like your crimp bead to show there is a product called crimp bead covers. If you use a 21 strand or 19 strand wire then you would use the wire guard to fit that wire. Crimp covers they sell the small and large. The small would be the size of a 3mm bead and the large size a 4mm bead. You have to use a crimping tool in order to use these. Also I always use 2×2 crimp beads.

I am planning on getting a Helix piercing tomorrow and I was just wondering what kind of earrings I should buy for it.
captive bead ring or horseshoe ring.
they will be easy to clean around and give room for swelling.
I have never worked with horse hair before, well only when it was still on the horse lol. Acually I havn’t made bracelets since I was very little and I want to start making stuff again. How do you suggest I make the ends? With what type of clasp? Thanks!
I don’t know anything about working with horse hair, so I cannot say, but it sounds like you need crimp ends that are made for cords. These use glue to hold the material in place within the crimp, then you fold the ends over the material once the glue dries. It has a loop on the end of it to attach the clasp. I am not sure I described that very well, but I tried. Sorry. I don’t know how to attach pictures here from my PC.
This question isn’t meant to offend, only inform me. I’ve been told that Rosary beads help ward off the paranormal, demons, that sort of thing yet I’ve also heard Rosaary beads can be made out of common plastic beads bought at AC Moore or Michael’s craft stores so I’m uncertain how these beads are really Holy in the first place. Are they prayed upon or something?
these ritualistic pagan beads are NOT Holy nor do they have any Biblical support, catholics use these as do some pagan groups I am told, they pray to/through Mary with these, also No Biblical Truth to support such an act..they are not pretty they are eery….got a white one in my ol catechism book somewhere’s, should I ever find it, it’s trashbound……God Bless
My fiance has an old gold and diamond ring that belonged to his father who passed away when he was 9. He wants it to be made into another ring for his wedding band. How much does it cost to have custom jewelry made?
Cost can range, but if you have the stone and some gold then you are in good shape. If you want a true custom piece then look for a jeweler that either has a cad/cam for designing jewelery or someone that hand carves waxes.
