How to make a pop tab wristband

sodatab.jpgI love jewelry, especially handmade jewelry. In a perfect world this would mean that I handmade jewelry. Unfortunately, I’m not crafty or strong enough to use pliers. I do try & keep up with what is going on in the crafting world.

With the green movement, I’ve been seeing a lot of jewelry made out of recycled materials. I’ve fallen in love with the idea of a pop tab bracelet. I wouldn’t even have to use pliers. These would make great gifts, or a craft project for teens. All that you need are a pair of headphones to be truly rock & roll. The only problem is that I don’t drink pop. If I do, it comes from a bottle. I’ve seen the same technique applied to making a purse & even a flapper dress. Some people must drink a lot of soda.

Traditional but unique

I won’t lie, because I’m Sara & I speak my mind. Most diamond engagement rings look exactly the same to me. I find it ironic that an engagement ring is supposed to be an expression of love, but everyone’s seems to be exactly the same. I was looking at Handmade Engagement Rings & was shocked to see that I actually do like white diamonds.

Jogia diamonds has some very unique settings that would make for a traditional, but unique, engagement ring. The ring will definitely have the “wow factor”, because it will be something that has never been seen before. What I really love about this site is all of the information that is found there, they really want to educate their customers. This is different from a lot of jewelry stores who are just trying to make a sale, or they are trying to hide something. Plus, Jogia only uses conflict free diamonds. This means that their diamonds don’t come from mines that help fund rebel groups who are trying to overthrow governments, so your mind is at ease when you wear your ring. It is possible to have a traditional white diamond ring, that is still unique.
