Bracelets and other projects

So most may think to make a necklace with our beads, but if you don't feel inspired to make a necklace, why not try and make a bracelet instead? Bracelets require less work to make, but they can still be customized to be cute and flashy just like a necklace. Here are a few inspirational projects to help you along!

 

These bracelets are made using beads from our Jesse James POG collection, as well as the clasps from the Grand Finale. You can create something basic with a single strand, or use multiple strands to create a flashy, chucky piece.

   

You can chose whatever beads you'd like for your project, these are just some pieces to be inspired by, depending on how difficult of a project you wish to make. The beads can be used for beginners or beading pros. Feel free to mix different products together, try using some of our POGs or our Chained Reaction to create a piece.

Don't feel like making a whole bracelet? Just a few beads can make a lovely set of earrings.

  

This set of earrings uses two beads and one set of chains. It creates a simple yet flashy look that doesn't require too much work or effort, easy for beginners to try. 

Fall Colors: POG Beads

Now that summer is finally coming to a close, so are the brighter, more vibrant pallets that it offers. Gone are the bright colors and in are the more cool, muted tones. This is about the time people start look into different sweaters and thicker knit ware to add to their wardrobe.

Most sweaters are starting to take the shift into the darker tones, most of them in various shades of grey, black and tan. Even some that take a shift into a different color, like green or red, will be more muted and toned down then what it would have been in the summer. So with the color shift in your wardrobe, what sort of jewelry can you use with it?

Our inspiration packs come with various shapes and sizes of beads, but each pack focuses on a specific color pallet. While a pack like Hidef might not fit so well during the fall, there are other packs that are in the more muted tones of fall.

The Spinach pack is various beads in darker green, with a hint of brown and gold. The green in the pack can act as an accent piece, while the brown will tie into someone’s clothing that may prefer earthy brown tones to their clothing.

If someone doesn’t want a pop of color, they may want to look into Brown Sugar or Urban Bronze. Both packs offer various shades of brown, gold and tan, for someone who wants to stick with just natural tones.

For someone that might want a bit more color and to help tie in with the upcoming holidays, Gypsy and Spice Market might offer a bit of that extra color. Both packs offer various shades of green, orange, gold and brown. They’ll tie into a natural darker tone, as well as lead into Thanksgiving and Halloween. Spice Market will give you a slightly darker shade then Gypsy, if you want something more natural. Or if you want to stand out a bit more, then go with the slightly brighter tones of orange and gold in Gypsy.
