4th of July Inspired American Flag Necklace
Jewelry-making is one of my fave hobbies. I haven’t talked about it much here, because I have been focusing more on lifestyle things to post on, versus my artsy-fartsy side. If you look at the top of my blog, there is actually a link to my Etsy shop where I sell these pieces.
I have always been crafty since I a very young age. Around age 8 or 9 I learned how to crochet, by 11 I was painting glass and candle-making, and in college I began card-making. Over the years I have re-visited many of these activities when time permits and to keep my skills up. Mostly recently, I got into jewelry-making last summer. I don’t exactly remember what sparked my interest in it, but one thing is that I love jewelry, so it comes natural. I have spent so much money over the years in retail stores buying cute accessories, and now I make them.
I try to keep my Etsy shop updated with new pieces monthly, but unfortunately I haven’t had the time or inspiration the past few months. Well, with the 4th right around the corner, I got some motivation. I decided to create an easy Americana flag inspired piece. I chose a chain necklace with a small America flag pendant, because I’m all for understated pieces.
This piece is cute and dainty, and appropriate for all ages. I love simple, easy pieces like this, because you can throw it on with just about anything. This piece is available in my Etsy shop now!
