I've got a cute and easy project today!
If you've signed up for Mindy Mae's Market or Pick Your Plum (and if you haven't, why not??) you have a TON of these little cabochons lying around. Don't deny it. I know it's true.
I decided to use some of them for my sister IL's birthday. She doesn't where a ton of jewelry. No rings except for her wedding ring. No earrings except for super hypoallergenic pure gold for her crazy ears. BUT one thing she wears a lot of are bracelets.
I started with this pendant bracelet I got at Hobby Lobby. It came with all the pendants put together and the clasp already attached - that's my kind of jewelry making.
I took some E6000.
And attached one cabochon in each square.
That's it! Easy Shmeezy! Done! I used pastel, subdued colors.
I decided to make some earrings anyway. Just in case she decided to give them a try. Just E6000'd them to some posts.
I made a coordinating ring as well, to really round out the gift. Then I went cray-zay and made a million more. I am totally keeping that hot pink one.
And I attached the gift to paint chips. Voila!
The photo quality is super bad. Sorry about that. Does the ease and cuteness of this project make up for that?

I love using cabochons! I'm so glad this trend is back in. :-) I;m also glad for spell check because I can't spell :cabochon" to save my life.
