Creating With Martha Stewart Jewelry

Brought to you by Plaid Crafts // I ADORE finding fun new products to play with. I'm even happier when the product lives up to the hype. Yesterday, I had the fun opportunity to play with some new Martha Stewart products from Plaid Crafts… They've launched a new line of Martha Stewart DIY Jewelry that is available exclusively at Michaels Craft Stores. I had a BALL playing with a box full of goodies from the line…

The new jewelry line is very well thought out. It's what we've come to expect from the Martha Stewart line of products. You know when you decide to use a Martha product, that you will have the highest quality materials along with fabulous design, synonymous with the Martha Stewart name.

To begin, the line has a fabulous tool box full of all kinds of tools you will need when creating your very own jewelry…

These are just a few of the tools in the line that really make jewelry crafting fun. You have a silicon mat to work with, silicon molds, several types of pliers and metal working tools, you even have fabulous brushes.

What makes this line really fun are all the amazing options you have. You can use an element from the line as is, or you can use  a glaze or enamel to totally change the look and feel of the element. Here's a look at four of the mediums you have to work with…

Using the fun Epoxy Clay you can create your very own cabochons to add to a necklace like this one that I created with several of the elements from the Martha line. The line has chains, rhinestones, beautiful statement pieces and when combined with your creativity can turn into something amazing.

Using the jewelry enamel you can add little pops of color to a piece that can transform it into something really special like this pendant necklace. It's so easy, you just combine the enamel with an activator and apply to the piece with a toothpick. It's super slick. The only issue is that you have to wait 24 hours for it to dry before you can wear it. Patients… I know, I'm not very good at waiting either. It's totally worth it though. I LOVE this new pendant necklace. All you have to do it attach it to a chain that comes in the new line with connectors that are super easy to use as well.

Do you want to add a little pizzaz to your new accessory? All you need to so is paint on some Jewelry Glaze. Leave it as is with a full burst of color, or use a cloth to wipe off a bit to give it an antique look. Either way, they are going to transform your creation into something spectacular. Next, all you have to do is decide what else you want to add on to your necklace. For the one above, I added rhinestones to add a little bling to the piece.

Above and beyond the different mediums that you can use transform your design, Martha Stewart has create some amazing elements that take your creating to the next level…

These two pieces were super easy, I just added a little color pop with some Jewelry Glaze and once that dried, which was super quick, I glued on a fabulous graphic element to create a stunning statement necklace.

All in all, I love this new line of DIY jewelry. There is something here for beginner jewelry designers all the way up to advanced designers, so there's fun for everyone!! It's so fun to create one of a kind pieces for you or for gifts for your family and friends. I know a few of these pieces that I've created are heading to school for end of the year teach gifts.
