Tutorial - Make a Souvenir Ring with Polymer Clay

Make for a bridal shower souvenir or wedding favor

Tutorial at Cute Simple Stuff Blog

"One of my friends is getting married. I got pretty excited too, and because she know I am into crafts and polymer clay jewelry making she asked me to do a different bridal shower favors/souvenir for all her friends to celebrate the moment, me included. So, instead of the “Soon to be Mrs. (name)” t-shirts, she wanted to do something else.

Tutorial - Ring from a Recycle PET Soda Bottle

Tutorial at Purple Hues and Me Blog

"I usually like to post a craft project once a week, but with visiting friends, the holiday, and working on a paper mache creation that's taking too long to dry, I am a bit behind. Thinking of something that's no cost and quick to make, all I had to do was look in my recycle trash bin for a solution.  I've always wanted to make jewelry out of  plastic bottles . . . I think they are cool, chic and a great way to help the environment (if only in a small way) and to re-use some old PET plastic bottles.  PET stands for polyethylene terephthalate   Take a look at the bottom of your soft drink bottle and you will most likely find a logo as shown below and the number 1 there.  PET is also used to make bottles for water, juice, sports drinks, beer, mouthwash, catsup, and salad dressing"....

Ring Tutorial at Jewels of Sayuri Blog

"Have you seen patterned wire before? I have, in numerous ads of sites that flood my inbox everyday tempting me to work with them. Alas, I do not find them in India and its too expensive to import wire. Then one day, as I was getting ready to go to a wedding, I realised that something was pricking my hand. One of the metal bangles that I was wearing had come apart and was pinching my skin. You might wonder how this is possible...I wondered the same - I had never seen or heard of a metal bangle break before!! I removed it and kept looking at it for a few minutes and that when I realised that it was nothing but a strip of patterned wire, hence was flimsy and prone to breakage. So I did what any decent crafter would do - upcycle it :) I made a pretty pearl ring out of it and here is the process".... Read more
