Stranger Than Vintage Website Shares Jewelry How-Tos

Whip up a pair of earrings for summer from beautiful agate slices, wire findings and colorful beads. Maggie's step-by-step instructions will also show you how to make a vintage-inspired necklace with funky, green beadwork. Or, you can always try the a wire-wrapped metal necklace, made from angular cuts of sheet metal for a geometric look. And the how-to for dainty floral drop earrings is another stunner.

If you've never made jewelry before, you'll need to gather a few key supplies like earring or necklace findings, pliers (flat nose and round nose), wire cutters and jewelry wire. And when it comes time to find the beads or stones, check your local craft supplies retailer, vintage shop or antiques store for unique gems.
