This is the perfect project for someone who hasn’t made a piece of jewelry since their pre-school macaroni necklace Mother’s day gift. Once you have all of the pieces assembled for your bracelet, you can create a beautiful piece of art in just 10 minutes! This is a project that can be done while you are taking the train to work, camping out, having a cup of coffee at a coffee shop, or waiting for the kids to wake up. Just imagine, you can harvest your spare time and develop a part-time income at the same time!
After I made that first macaroni necklace for my mother, I was hooked on creating my own jewelry. I didn’t start selling my creations until college, and instead, made gifts for friends and family. Thirty years later, I’m still fitting in stolen minutes before my daughter wakes up so that I can create one of a kind pieces of jewelry.
One of the easiest pieces of jewelry to make is a memory wire bracelet. You only need a few supplies and off-you-go! If you make these in public places, don’t be surprised if total strangers walk up to you and ask if they can buy your jewelry. This happens to me all of the time. Since I’m teaching you how to do this project on-the-run, I’ll also help you along the way with pricing strategies for both wholesale (to retailers) and retail. At the very minimum, you can price your memory wire bracelets at $10, but depending on materials, you can charge up to $30 for something that you can do on a coffee break.
