My Fire Mountain Gems Projects:

Statement Stone Necklace

Statement Stone Necklace: This necklace cost me about $4 in supplies from Fire Mountain Gems – including the THREE statement stones I picked up for just $1 (for all three!). Instructions here: Statement Stone Necklace

shrinky bracelets

Shrinky Plastic Charm Bracelets: I used ready-made beaded bracelets (cost 15 cents each!) from Fire Mountain Gems, and then my teen girl crafters created cute charms from shrinky plastic for a cute, updated take on the friendship bracelet. Instructions here: Shrinky Plastic Charm Bracelets.

DIY Oregon Necklace

DIY Painted State Necklace: I always keep readymade necklace chains on hand (from Fire Mountain Gems, of course!) so I can easily assemble pendant necklaces whenever I create a pendant. This necklaces uses a neat technique — painting shrink plastic to create a pretty, colorful textured pendant. Instructions: DIY Painted State Necklace.
