Hip Handmade Memory Jewelry


Projects from the editor of BeadStyle magazine Cathy Jakicic Hip Handmade Memory Jewelry is one of the newest publications from Kalmbach Books. While there, working on a beading project, she began to realize how these 2 creative endeavors were alike. The scrapbooking group was fascinated by her project and how she designed and constructed it.The result is over 25 jewelry creations that are inspired by special occasions, divided into 4 categories: milestones, hobbies, vacations and remembrances.


MILESTONES


Be sure you check out the decoupage bracelet; who thought of creating a way to remember wallpaper or paint. Yes, the mini memory book pendant was a bit too trite for me, but other scrapbookers might love the concept.


HOBBIES


I also like the pop culture project; I may have to use this to create a design for my best friend, who is dedicated movie buff. I could use movie posters and create a unique bracelet and earrings, with a slightly large set for a necklace. Cathy has a neat plan to co-op those into pendants.


VACATIONS


I enjoyed the photobook/memory book charm or bookmark project; there would be endless variations on just this project alone!


REMEMBRANCES


Cathy has different projects with photos, and a piece of cloth from your baby blanket or christening dress.
