Molly is a Ford Model and here she was kind enough to share with us her simple but yet effective way of making inexpensive jewelry.
She goes through two simple examples: First: She finds some pins (these can usually be found in a flea market or garage sales) and all she does is add a chain and it becomes a beautiful inexpensive necklace.
The second example: She makes a really cute headband by gluing a regular headband (which can be found in most craft stores) with gems and it creates a cute headband. Depending on the gem, it can look really expensive.
Ps. Fabric glue is the best for gluing it together.
I hope you enjoyed this jewelry toturial, now go on and make something simple, inexpensive but beautiful.

thanks a lot for posting that video on how to make inexpensive jewelry! i have been contemplating on making some money out of my large collection of all sorts of knick-knacks and have been thinking about making jewelries out of them. i’ve never been an artist or a designer so i’ve been searching the web for some great ideas and have come across your site. thanks again for sharing that video!
No problem.
I’ve been making inexpensive jewelry from found sea glass (vintage sea glass that is antiqued by the ocean’s waves and made into gem-quality stones).
best of all, it’s free!
Check out my brand new jewelry shop using vintage sea glass (from old medicine bottles, milk glass, spirits, apothecary jars…) and vintage beads:
