It would be true to say I am a little stressed about my up and coming craft fair on the 4th of July.  Although I gave up drinking diet soda a few months back, I have been having a few for crafting supplies.  You see I decided to make a few recycled patriotic Pepsi can earrings for my show.  Today I will show you how easy it is to make your own.

Tutorial Interchangeable Beaded Bracelets, Necklaces, or Anklets

My pictures today are going to show you how I made an interchangeable beaded bracelet. You can apply these same techniques to make an anklet or necklace, you will simply use more beads, chain, and jewelry wire when you do.  I love making interchangeable jewelry because you save money using less jewelry chain, and take up less space in your jewelry box.

What I Have Been Making And Wearing (Crochet Heart and Pearl Ring)

A while back I placed an order at My Crochet Shop. When my order arrived there was a cute little crocheted heart used in the wrapping.  I held onto the heart because I knew I could use it for something.  I ended up turning it into a sweet ring that would be perfect for an affordable Valentine's Day gift.  The owner of My Crochet Shop on Etsy also has a wonderful blog.  If you would like to make yourself an interchangeable heart ring, first check out her crochet heart pattern here.
