Christmas can be the warmest and happiest season of the year for many people -- even though time always seems to be at a premium. Somehow, we always seem to find the time to create beautiful holiday crafts for those we love.
The holidays are also a time when we want to look our best and adorn ourselves in all things sparkly. In this article, we'll show you how to make Christmas jewelry that you'll want to wear all year long. Although the Christmas jewelry looks sophisticated, most is made by gluing.
You'll need jewelry findings. This is a term for a variety of ready-made metal components used as attachments and fastenings to assemble jewelry. They are usually made of inexpensive metal. Findings include pin backs, earring findings, barrel clasps, jump rings, and beading wire -- for our projects you will need a pin back and earrings findings. All of thes items are easily found in your local craft or hobby store.
