August 5, 2013 by AllFreeJewelryMaking Leave a Comment

DIY jewelry is one of the most rewarding fields of crafting, but sometimes the price of getting your own supplies can outweigh the benefits of handcrafting that gorgeous designer piece. But don’t worry if your budget doesn’t allow for frivolities like hand-crafted glass beads. We’ve rounded up the best of our free homemade jewelry patterns for anyone who wants to make jewelry without breaking the bank. With basic jewelry tools, you can make these pretty DIY jewelry pieces from household odds and ends.

You can make all sorts of amazing projects from an old belt, like this amazing Upcycled Leather Jewelry Set. Believe it or not, everything in this DIY jewelry set came from a recycled belt. With this tutorial, you can give your old fashion a new lease on life, for very little cost.

 Coffee Stirrer Necklace

 

The Coffee Stirrer Necklace could pass for a pretty department store piece. All you need for this DIY necklace are some lengths of jewelry wire and a handful of leftover beads.

The Cute Cascading Button Earrings are a great way to use up those pretty colored buttons that you can’t bring yourself to throw away.
