Everyone has a crafty friend who makes homemade gifts deceptively easy.
From paper bag scrapbooks to one-of-a-kind lamps any project can be broken down into simple steps.
All you need is some direction and you can create masterpieces that are all your own.
Think of using a recipe to make your favorite dish.
The first thing you do is ensure that you have all of the ingredients and supplies that you need.
So, when someone asks, how do you make jewelry or simply how did you do that, you know where to begin.
The next thing on your recipe card is usually a list of steps or directions to make your creation.
Of course one thing never listed is inspiration.
Without that idea or spark all you have is a pile of stuff.
Whether you need something to go with that new sweater or a gift for a special friend, it is not hard to find a starting point when creating.
So, one answer to the question, how do you make jewelry is with some inspiration.
With your inspiration in tow you can begin to follow the steps in your book, magazine, or online tutorial.
In a short time you will hopefully have your project completed.
It is important to remember that these steps are basically guidelines, and when you add your own personal touches you truly make a one-of-a-kind work of art.
Does this sound too good to be true? Crafty people may be born with a knack for creating, but everyone needs a few practice runs before they can truly create with ease.
Greatness comes from a lot of trial and error.
It is through this process that you discover what works and what doesn't as well as what materials you like to use and those you do not.
So the next time you are asked, how do you make jewelry? You can retort, with a lot of practice.
After practicing with all of the techniques and materials that intrigue you; it is possible to choose your favorite ones as part of your signature designs.
Perhaps your go-to gift will be wire-wrapped leather bracelets or necklaces with gemstone pendants.
No matter what you choose the lucky recipients of your wares will be grateful.
Yes, no matter what hobby you choose it can be mastered with a little inspiration and a lot of practice.
You can become the crafty friend, that fabulous gift giver, that artiste.
