"Too cute. Looks like a great gift for the younger crowd, but looks like a fairly easy bracelet to make. We see lots of alligators here since we live near the Everglades. A great gift idea for me to make to give to our house guests when they come to visit."

"Unless you have a particular bead or design you are going for, this simple and easy earring pattern could also be a stash buster. Select your main bead, add some end caps or end beads, connect on a head pin, then onto earring wire. Bada bing bada boom. This set could be finished in less than half an hour if you have your supplies already."

"A lovely stash buster bracelet. I know every bracelet made will be different when working with stash buster beads, but the concept for each is basically the same. This is quite an easy bracelet to make. It is that time of the year for Bible Schools to be in full swing and this is the perfect craft for the older kids."

"I have the perfect beads in mind for this project and what is even better is that I already have them and dont need to buy any more. Even though they are a little bit more expensive, I do love Swarovski crystals and pearls. They are a great quality material and have such a nice shine."

"I live in South Florida and our beaches are covered with these kinds of shells. This would be the perfect jewelry item for me to make. Although the designer said the holes in the middle of her shells were already in them when she found them, I have never seen any with holes in the middle of the shell. Ours have holes at the top. So I will just do a little modification and use the natural holes in our shells. Love the look of the beads glued to the shells."

From the blogger: "Here's an easy necklace that's pretty enough to give as a gift... you might even find yourself making a batch, assembly-line style, as they're that simple. You'll cut small squares of paper - any type you like; scrapbooking or metallic paper is an ideal weight - and accordion fold them, then glue together side-by-side. Glue the ends of chain lengths that complement the paper color inside the outermost folds, allow to dry overnight, add a clasp, and enjoy!"
