Hello all and happy Monday! Today I’m teaming up with The Quarterly Collab ladies for another great compilation of fun DIY’s! Our theme? Jewelry! Let me first start by saying I am NOT a jewelry maker, nor do I pretend to be. But I put my best foot forward and looked at this as a fun opportunity to branch into this whole other area of crafting! I had a lot of fun and I hope you enjoy what I came up with!
What you will need
- Wood (I used a combination of pine, walnut, and oak)
- Table saw or scroll saw
- Drill press
- Sander
- Wood wiping stain
- Gold chain (any length)
What to do
- Gather your supplies
- With a pencil, measure your triangles (you can choose how big or small)
- Using the table saw, cut out six wood triangles
- Sand your triangles smooth
- With your drill press, create a hole depending on the size of your chain
- I created holes at the top (point) and bottom (flat end) of the triangle so they would all hang differently on the chain
- Stain your triangles and wipe off excess with a rag
- Take a fine sander and sand one last time to give it a nice glossy finish! Enjoy!
I love how this piece turned out! It’s chunky and definitely makes a statement! At first, I wanted to paint a few triangles some fun colors to pop, but I loved how the stain brought out all the different patterns in each triangle. Of course, I love how the natural wood plays with the gold metal. It’s something I can wear with anything and everything!
