National Craft Month in March

Every year in March, crafters, and artisans share, sell, and promote their handmade crafts. Since 1994, National Craft Month has helped people to learn new craft skills and bring awareness of the benefits of crafting. Making handmade items make great gifts,  conversation starters, and keeps your mind busy. One of my favorite crafts is making handmade jewelry such as bracelets and anklets. Here is the tutorial for making this anklet. 

Materials:

Two Pliers
Several Jump Rings
Very Small Beads
One Anklet Chain

First, put one bead through a jump ring. Second, use a pair of pliers to attach one bead to a chain-link and close the jump ring. Third, continue adding jump rings and beads onto the chain links. Fourth, make sure each jump ring is securely closed. After that, you can wear your new anklet or give it as a gift. 

Creating your own jewelry makes you feel creative and makes you feel accomplished. It is a relaxing pastime. Nonetheless, creating jewelry makes you pay attention to details, colors, and textures. Making crafts helps you meditate and be mindful while creating personalized handmade items.  Below are some links about National Craft Month.
