Tips for Wearable Costume Jewelry

1. Maintain Your Festive Nature: First and foremost, don't give up having some fun handmade Halloween jewelry projects because you don't think you will be able to ever wear them again. This is all about balancing your festive nature with your DIY jewelry projects.
   
   Swap out a couple of aspects of one project to make it less in-you-face-scary and more ghoulishly glamorous. There is nothing wrong with loving Halloween and being in the Halloween spirit; but, if you're looking to continuously wear your homemade jewelry projects, just tone down the theatrics a bit.

2. Make it Delicate: Delicate jewelry is perfect for wearing anytime and all the time. This next tip is all about adding a bit of delicacy to your grisly costume jewelry. You can find tons of jewelry making ideas that are chunky, bulky, or BAM scary, but you don't necessarily need to go all out in order to still create some gorgeous homemade jewelry.
   
   By combining a sense of grace with your pick of a Halloween symbol, you can easily create beautiful and totally wearable Halloween jewelry. A good tip for starting off creating some of these is focusing on pendants or small charms, like this vampire pendant necklace, that can express your Halloween spirit.

   This tip is perfect for combining scary concepts like spiders and bugs and turning them into beautiful DIY jewelry crafts that everyone will want to get their hands on. A good starting point for this concept is to use gems or beads to bedazzle a bug or create a sparkly web. That way people are more awed by your dazzling jewelry than thinking it is out of season.
