Cat Eye Beads Jewelry for Thanksgiving Day


Nov. 22th is Thanksgiving Day of this year, and many people will present gifts for others to express their thanks. And along with the development of jewelry making and popularity of fashion jewelry, I am sure that many people will choose jewelry as their gifts. I am one of them. I have created two jewelry pieces with cat eye beads as gifts.

Cat eye beads are one kind of glass beads. They are beautiful and shiny. On today’s jewelry market, cat eye beads come in different shapes, colors and sizes. So we can easily find whatever we need for our designs. My first Thanksgiving Day gift is a bracelet. I used 6pcs pink round cat eye beads (about 6mm in diameter), 4pcs fuchsia bicone glass beads (about 6mm in diameter), 8pcs Tibetan style flower bead spacers, 8pcs sterling silver beads (about 4mm in diameter), crimp beads, jump rings and jewelry wire. First, string a jump ring and crimp bead on wire, then turn the wire back through crimp bead. Use your crimp jewelry plier to press crimp bead to make a loop to hold the jump ring. Second, string all the jewelry beads by the following order: one sterling silver bead, one flower bead spacer, one bicone glass bead, one flower bead spacer and two cat eye beads. Third, add a crimp bead and lobster claw clasp to make an end for this bracelet like step one. By now, a beautiful and cute cat bracelet is finished.

The second gift I created is a pair of earrings with cat eye beads and sterling silver beads. The materials I used are 2pcs sterling silver earring hooks, 6pcs 6mm cat eye beads (green, pink and yellow, 2pcs for each color), 4pcs tiny sterling silver bead spacers and 2pcs ball headpins. Earrings are always very easy to make. First, string 3pcs cat eye beads in different colors on headpin, and use two sterling silver bead spacers to separate them. Second, use your round nose jewelry plier to make a loop at the top of cat’s eye bead. Third, attach this beaded pendant on earring hook. An earring is finished. Repeat the above steps to create the other one for a pair.

Do you want to create some jewelry gifts for someone on Thanksgiving Day? If yes, take action right now, as this holiday is coming. My ideas with cat eye beads are just for reference. I am sure you must have your own fabulous ideas already.
