Make Your Own Festival Jewellery

Do you love crystals, charms and statement pieces?

Making your own festival-inspired jewellery couldn't be easier, we're sharing our favourite jewellery making projects below which are perfect for the festival season. Each project is ideal for beginners too.

Wire Wrapped Rings

Wire wrapping is a great way to create boho inspired designs! We've used this technique with a range of irregular shaped stones and pieces of sea glass. All you need is some round wire and a few tools to complete the look. Follow our tutorial with step by step photos and give it a go!

Gemstone Rings

Our ring settings are perfect if you're a jewellery making beginner. Simply choose your favourite ring setting and combine with your favourite gemstone for a quick and easy design.

Gemstone Donuts

We absolutely love using gemstone donuts. They are so easy to use for creating fun and colourful designs. They have a hole in the middle, making them simple to combine with your favourite beading thread or donut bail.

Crystal Point Necklace

This is a lovely summer project for the summer festival season! The only tools you need are side cutters and snipe nose pliers! Customise this design with your favourite crystals and threads.

Gemstone Chip Beads

If you love the look of rough and unique gemstone jewellery, you'll love these gemstone chip beads - available in a variety of gemstones.

DIY Stacking Bracelet

This project uses our popular memory wire which is hard and holds its shape, making it ideal for creating a 'stacked' bracelet effect. Watch our video tutorial to see how easy it is to use your favourite beads to create a bold and statement design.

DIY Wire Wrapped Crystal Bead Necklace

Crystal points are the perfect choice for festival accessories! We have a lovely range available which are great for creating necklaces and earrings with. Watch our video tutorial showing you how to turn a crystal point bead into a necklace using a simple wire wrapping technique.

5 Tips On Creating Festival Jewellery

Layer and stack

When it comes to festival jewellery, less is definitely not more! Create jewellery that can be easily layered and stacking rings that compliment each other. It's all about going over the top and rocking the look with confidence!

Go big and bold

This is your chance to go outside your comfort zone and experiment with big and bold designs. Whether that's chunky rings, bracelets or necklaces! Our unique boulder opals, natural turquoise and rough gemstones give you the perfect chance to use more techniques and make statement pieces.

Be colourful

Festival season hits in summer, which means the brighter the colour the better! Use a pop of colour in your designs or use a variety to really make them stand out. Or why not go gothic, with dark yet mesmerising designs - scroll down for our popular choker necklace featuring our black agate gem.

Use charms

Here at Kernowcraft we have a whole selection of charms which are perfect for festival season. They are a great addition to any piece of jewellery, dangle them from a bracelet or add them to a necklace!

Get creative

This is your chance to use techniques you have never used before or simply add a brand new selection of jewellery into your shop! Chokers are really in this season, so why not step out of your comfort zone and get creative making a beaded design? Arm cuffs, anklets and hand chain harnesses are also on trend - so, what will you create?
