-
Hey guys! It's Melanie and welcome to
-
today's video.
-
I am super excited
-
for today's video because
-
as you can see by the title,
-
we are doing some crafts.
-
More specifically,
-
we are doing some beaded crafts
-
which is so fun because
-
I know charms and beads have been
-
all the rage recently and I
-
personally have been in love
-
with accessorizing with them.
-
So, to get started
-
we are going to have to make
-
a quick run
-
to
-
not any craft store,
-
but Beadworld.
-
It's like bead galore and
-
I need to pick up a couple things
-
for these crafts.
-
(computer click sound)
-
(keys jingling and car door closes)
-
We made it to Beadworld!
-
Guys, I freaking love this place!
-
(calm, low-fi music playing)
-
Alright, guys so we just
-
finished at Beadworld.
-
It's kind of crazy
-
that I spent like an hour
-
and a half in there, and
-
almost $60, to come out with
-
just these beads but I swear it's
-
for like five different crafts that I'm
-
so excited to get started on.
-
I picked out so
-
many cute little charms
-
and I swear being here is
-
like heaven to me. I just
-
love looking around this bead store.
-
It could entertain me for an entire
-
day. I'm super satisfied with
-
all of the beads I picked up.
-
I am going to have to stop off at
-
Joann's to grab a couple of
-
extra things on the way home,
-
believe it or not. But after we get that
-
we are going to get started
-
on all of our beaded crafts!
-
(computer click sound)
-
So it's clearly much later in the day.
-
It is completely dark out because
-
running my little bead errands
-
took quite some time.
-
We are going to be making
-
four
-
different beaded crafts and I am
-
super excited for all of them.
-
I am a huge beaded girl and
-
jewelry fanatic and I love it
-
even more when I can
-
personalize it and make it
-
for myself or other people
-
as gifts.
-
So,
-
let's get straight into it!
-
(computer click sound)
-
Alright guys, so this first craft
-
is a little DIY charm bracelet.
-
This is super up to your
-
own interpretation.
-
You all know charm necklaces
-
are super in right now,
-
so you can take this and
-
apply it and turn it into a
-
necklace, or an anklet, or
-
literally anything that you want.
-
To be quite honest with you,
-
a lot of this
-
jewelry-making is more for
-
inspiration because once you get
-
the hang of what supplies to get
-
and like how to open a clasp
-
and close it, your options are
-
pretty much endless when it comes to
-
making things that you think of.
-
That being said,
-
I am making a tiny, little, dainty
-
charm bracelet today.
-
I found this charm necklace
-
in my jewelry box, and I've
-
been in love with it and I want like
-
a similar bracelet where the charms
-
are really tiny. I have a lot of
-
like chunky
-
charm jewelry
-
and I wanted some mini ones. So,
-
I picked up a bunch of adorable charms
-
I think they're all very personal to me.
-
To be a little more specific with the
-
supplies you will be needing,
-
of course the charms of your choice,
-
then you are going to be needing,
-
some wire cutters, some pliers
-
of your choice.
