Can I remake or upcycle anything? DIY Jewelry Making Fun

[@avantejewelry]

This one was challenging, but I had fun trying to see what I could make with so few usable components. Thank you for your thumbs up, comment and subscribing, Vickie ~ Avante Jewelry

The pendant necklace is stunning. I would like a pair of those blue earrings with the small pale green beads on top. I like it that way. Thanks for sharing these with us. You are new to me this eve and I've been marathoning you for the 4 or so hours LOL (seriously) Nice work!!

[@avantejewelry]

I’m so glad you found my channel! Thank you for your nice compliment on the earrings. And, thank you for binge watching my videos! I have a special one coming out later today for New Year’s!

You've done an excellent job with the components you have to work with 🎉 I'm thinking that you could lay out the circles (maybe not the chunky ones) , and make a pattern that you like to use in either a cuff type bracelet or a bib / collar neckpiece. If you have any of the semi precious stones in the disk / donut shape, you could give the metal a little life by placing some wherever you think they work. I'm looking at them on a large screen so you obviously know whether that would work. I'm with you on the chunky ones - nothing comes to mind at all. 💛

[@avantejewelry]

Great ideas! Thank you!

I love looking for components at thrift stores. You can make lots of one of a kind pieces . I prefer semi prescious stone or glass beads. I work in copper, antique bronze, antique copper, and silver. Occasionally, I do gunmetal. Love watching your process !😊

[@avantejewelry]

I also love working with stones and glass beads! That’s what I mainly did when we made jewelry when traveling to sell it. I love that you have such a variety of materials that you work with. Thank you, Kelly!

[@possumintheblossom]

That was definitely a Something Out Of Nothing video. Well done!

[@avantejewelry]

Thank you!

Thank you 😊 💓 dear for sharing this video n amazing ideas for recreating new jewellery items. The best in my view is the necklace 😍, love love love it. ❤️ so for the larger hole beads you can make a Pandora style of bracelet/bracelets. Waiting for your next creative video. Take care n God bless ✨️ ❤

[@avantejewelry]

Thank you, Rita and yes, I should try those beads as you suggested.

[@judybogle7426]

Yes, I agree on the Pandora Style. 🙏. ♥️. 🙏.

Thank you, Shawntel!

Hey, I just found you yesterday, but I've already watched 3 of your videos. I'm sure I'll be watching many more. I loved what you did with those curved pieces. I never would've thought of that. Catch ya later. xo bird on a wire 🧡🧡🧡

[@avantejewelry]

Thank you and welcome to the channel!

[@lindablandon5286]

Interesting.

[@avantejewelry]

Thank you, Linda!

[@kimmathis694]

I really like the first pair of earrings you made. Getting the necklaces on clearance from Walmart is a brilliant idea I’m going to do as well. I learn a lot from your videos and I enjoy them too

[@avantejewelry]

Thank you, Kim! Yes, that necklace from Walmart worked out just fine for this project.

[@MLACREATIONS30]

Simply Amazing what You were able to create from previous jewelry.

[@avantejewelry]

Thank you so much!

[@nirateller5603]

Beautiful work

[@avantejewelry]

Thank you so much!

[@cer145]

You never fail at completing some beautiful jewelry designs! Great job!

[@avantejewelry]

You’re too kind! Thank you!

[@patriciawilcox944]

Great video...the jewelry you created is very pretty!

[@avantejewelry]

Thank you, Patricia!

[@ymfg9004]

Perhaps use Bead Aligner beads to fill the large holes in the large beads. TierraCast make some. I personally dislike big hole beads. You have a great talent for designing new jewellery from old. 🌹🇦🇺

[@avantejewelry]

Thank you!

[@jerilynnbayer-fermier5475]

Love the first set of earrings best. Like the bracelet second. I always test what I buy with a magnet. If some iron slips by me, I recycle it. Very interesting to see how you harvested what you bought. Loved the blue and green glass beads. Glad you made a pair of earrings with them. Was wanting more.

[@avantejewelry]

Thank you, Jerilynn! Yes, I too check jewelry with a magnet. In fact, I did that on some pieces and we also looked at some things under a microscope. It is hard though to read some of the markings. I thought about making something else with the blue and green glass beads but I knew the video was getting long. I’ll keep it in mind though for a future project.

[@haydeemayor9823]

I really all your videos. I have learned a lot from you!, thanks for sharing❤

[@avantejewelry]

Thank you, Haydee!

[@munaanani5762]

I just started follow you and love your work although i do not do accessories, but love the idea of recycling. Good job

[@avantejewelry]

Thank you! We also watch videos for subjects that we don’t actually participate in. I completely understand. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@SpacePickleDesigns]

The fact that the chain didn’t add up and you had the same number of links was wild!!! I would have fought those earrings 😂

[@avantejewelry]

I know, that still bothers me. I need to ask my husband about it, maybe he has an explanation. Lol. Thank you!

[@elsaterry8804]

I just stumbled on to your videos - love your ideas! I have old jewelry from my own collection that I just can’t seem to part with but perhaps can upcycle something myself! Regarding the large hole beads - do you work with wire? I have donut beads that I use for making wire wrapped rings with a spiral design on top (or any other creative twists and turns that you like!). Just a thought. Thanks, again!

[@avantejewelry]

Glad you stumbled on our channel! Celebrating 1-year next week! I don't do a lot with wire wrapping but I'm going to work on that next year. Thank you!

[@shirleyvidito9676]

I can’t find the pointed pliers you used in your listing. It’s not the flat nosed pliers

[@avantejewelry]

I updated the list to include it, but here is the link: PLIERS: Chain Nose Pliers 5.5 inches: amzn.to/3OBkP3A Thank you!

[@mareeivey2276]

What was the craft pile for?

[@avantejewelry]

To sell on ebay. I haven’t gotten it listed yet though. Thanks for asking.

[@51andhappy44]

I love watching you create, but I got so stressed out with the “background” music. It got very loud and felt like it was in a competition to talk over you. Please reconsider using this distraction in the future. Maybe I’m not the only one?
