Week Seven: Hard-Wear Jewelry

Welcome to week seven.

The focus this week is on recycled crafts.  You will make a bracelet out of pieces of hardware: nuts, bolts, washers, etc.  The instructions below are once again from the website, spoonful.com.

Who'd have guessed that discovering the nuts and bolts of jewelry making could begin with a trip to the hardware store?

What you'll need

• Scissors and pencil
• Cording (leather or cotton)
• Lanyard hook (sold at most craft stores)
• Small hardware items

How to make it

1. Start by cutting a 14-inch length of cording (28-inch if you plan to tie spacing knots between the items you'll be stringing on) and tie a lanyard hook to one end.
2. Thread the hardware onto the cording. Then knot the end of the cord into a loop.

 Here is a sample of what your bracelet could look like:
