Handmade Wedding Jewelry

You can create your own handmade wedding jewelry for your wedding. Necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and even hairpieces are not difficult to make on your own.

The Christmas earrings below were made by me using hypo-allergenic earring wires and miniature Christmas ornaments. Earrings just like these were worn by bridesmaids in two different weddings in the month of December. The cost of each pair was about 50 cents to make.

Jewelry for your bridesmaids and your flower girl can also be handmade by you, if you have the time.

There are several types of earrings that are easy to make. Just stop by a craft store like Hobby Lobby, Garden Ridge, or Michael's and shop for a few basic pieces. Wal-Mart now has an excellent craft department with beads and jewelry-making supplies. Check it out.

Of course, you can use miniature items instead of beads. I have made pretty Christmas earrings using mini ornaments on earring wires. I have sold these at craft fairs and they sell like hotcakes.

At Easter, you could use little Easter ornaments or mini silk or porcelain flowers, anything that is not too heavy. Tiny bows made from real ribbon look pretty, too.

I have made beaded necklaces and bracelets to sell at craft fairs as well.

The stores have pretty plastic beads and nicer, more expensive ones to use, like real stones and crystals.

You can also make beads out of polymer clay. Polymer clay can also be fashioned into flowers and other objects for use on jewelry. I love to work with polymer clay. Sculpey is my favorite to use when I play with clay.

I made the earrings below using Sculpey clay in two colors. I glued on the earring posts with craft glue. I molded the clay in a rose and leaf mold and put the leaves on the rose before baking. Total cost was less than $1 for a pair. You can make several pairs of these earrings out of a package of clay.

Handmade wedding favors can also be made with polymer clay.

Getting back to handmade wedding jewelry, you will need some small needle nose jewelry pliers, 22 gauge wire, earring wires, beads of your choice, craft glue, wire cutters, stretchy bracelet string, and anything else that catches your fancy at the craft store.

If you are making a hairpiece, you may want to buy metal barrettes with no decorations at the craft shop as well. I used to decorate these all the time for my daughter when she was a little girl. She had all sorts of pretty, one-of-a-kind barrettes for her hair. You can also pick up a hair comb or two if you would like to use a decorative comb instead of a barrette.

Buy Wedding Earrings Here

If you do not want to try making your own earrings, I have several styles that I designed and offer for sale here.

These are all handmade by me and many are hypoallergenic. The hypoallergenic ones will say they are hypoallergenic in the description. No real gems, just pretty beaded earrings for you to wear in a wedding, at work, or when you go out. Nothing gaudy or huge because I don't like those. Just simple yet attractive earrings. Check out my handmade wedding jewelry!

Try making your own after reading my earring tutorial.

Instead of homemade jewelry, try wearing vintage jewelry at your wedding.
