From 2012-2013 I wasn't a craftier and in fact I had very little interest in becoming one. I would even ask my sister (who is an incredible craftier) why she liked to craft. I was told that she loved it, that it made her happy and plus she was able to hand make gifts for people and a lot of people loved them over the gifts she would buy.
In late 2014 I decided to give it a go and try to teach myself how to make bracelets. I had YouTube to help me and teach me new crafts. My first craft ever was a bracelet made from a zipper. That's right I made a zipper bracelet. I made one for myself, my niece and my two sisters. They liked them and so did I.
After the zipper bracelets I decided to try something a little more challenging like chain mail. I did a lot of chain mail bracelets. I did twisted chain mail and chain mail that had round pearls in it as if it were caged in the bracelet. I did a lot of those types of bracelets. I had so much fun with them. Then I decided to try out polymer clay ( oven bake) and molds. I have 7 molds and tons of polymer clay. I absolutely loved doing polymer clay. It makes me fell like a kid again!
I have several items I have made with polymer clay. I have done necklaces, bracelets, rings, brooches, and hair accessories. Then in 2015 I decided to try out spikes. I made a heart out of polymer clay and baked it off. It was about 2 inches long. I went ahead and added some spikes to the whole heart and turned it into a ring. Its my spiky heart ring! I love it.
Near the end of 2015 I decided to try working with wire. I have worked with 18 gauge, 20, 14 and so on. I absolutely love working with it. So far I have been able to make braided bracelets. I have also learned a lot though YouTube.
In 2016 I hope to of opened my mine and eyes to other crafts. I hope you enjoy and check out my shop! Christine Creates Shop
