great episode on jewelry making!!!
Wow that looks like way too much fun!! I have my fingers crossed!!
I had a look at the craft library and I really love the floral brooches with craft porcelain clay, they are so beautiful!!
I am going to be checking out amaco.com very soon.
OMG, My hubbs hates taking me to the hardware store now. [tee hee] I *need* some of those washer pendants. Those are AWESOME!
I just love all the projects that you show, such a great variety and so much fun to watch. If only I had the time to try them all.
Those monsters are adorable and I love the jewelry you’ve made! I always wondered how those were done.
Loved this episode and a great new jewelry idea for washers. Hubby works at a wonderful old fashioned hardware store so making a list of what size metal washers for him to pick up tomorrrow. Thanks so much.

The stonex ghost looks really cute, I like that project. http://www.amaco.com/stonex%E2%84%A2-ghost/
I am really interested in this sculpt a mold product used here, but I’m thinking I could use it to make my own dress form for my sewing projects.

So many ideas, so little time! The Amaco site has so many great ideas, do I have to pick only one that caught my eye? One that jumped out at me because not only would it be great left alone but it could also be mosaiced all over or just in areas is the Pottery Clay Angels. They are adorable as is but being a mosaic artist I can see them with some pretty iridized glass mosaiced on the wings.
Love the jewelry! Will have to visit the hardware store with DH!
I just added a link and comments to my blog and also added you to my links page on my website. Can’t wait to win that wonderfully generous prize package. Keep up the good work ladies.
I posted a message on Facebook with a link to this video. I know a number of people on my Facbook page will enjoy this craft idea since all of them are artists and several work with children & are always looking for childrens crafts. Thanks so very much.
Love the dish on jewelry making I wanted to learn to do this for some time and these were some great easy ways to get started. Thanks.
I’m adding Amaco to my list of favorite supply stores they have absolutely everything a crafter could want and then some.
I just loved the ideas for jewelry and the kids projects.
Gosh!! – Can’t wait to get my hands on this – hours of fun for me and my niece.
Thanbks
Great project for kids…love it…
I know what my next project is going to be.
Love it!
Wonderful episode again!! Hope I win!!!!!!
this will be a fun project.
Great projects! I’m pretty sure that I probably still have some friendly plastic sticks from the 80′s stored in my basement.
I was thrilled to visit the AMACO site. I had never heard of this site before. Can’t wait to try some ideas on my Grandchildren. Of course , I look forward to DIY episode each week. Thank you!
love this idea-I never new how friendly plastic worked -know I’m buzzing with ideas-can’t wait to try it
thanks
[...] out the video, Episode 10: Hardware Store Meets Chic Jewelry Design, at thediydish. You can make jewelry with a few simple products. Invite a friend or two to join [...]
I remember the friendly plastic!! Love the necklaces; they are so lovely.
Love the idea of using hardware as the base for jewelry. Who doesn’t have all kinds of leftover hardware in a jar somewhere. Now we’ve got something to do with all that “stuff.” Thanks.
I always wanted to make the washer jewelry – I think this method and I just found 2 pieces of friendly plastic sticks in my garage while I was cleaning. Thanks! Off to post on my blog and to AMACO, which I like their wire projects.
this is cool…..will plan to do this w/my grandchildren this summer…thanks
LOVE the jewelry!! I think I might have to try that this summer. I posted a link to Facebook!
Making the jewelry seems so easy. Ill be making some. Thanks.
I Love the plastic!!! My husband would be impressed with the jewelry out of hardware. He told me to have fun finding thing to use in the garage. I know he has all different size washers out there! Can’t wait to try it.
What a great medium! I like the idea from the website that you can use the oven to melt it too.
The butterfly is a great project. I’ll be visiting the craft store this afternoon. Thank you again.
Love this one! I had never heard of friendly plastic sticks before. Now I need to get some!
I love the necklaces. I’m making my shopping list for my dad right now since he works at the hardware store!
wow I just wanted to say great I deas and thanks for the cheance to win
HUGS FROM CANADA

Oh My Gosh! Friendly Plastic is Back?! I remembering doing this may years ago. I still wear the earrings I made for Christmas. They look like a gift with a little tiny bell. I think we baked them in the oven though. Bye! Got to check at Michaels. Thanks again for another great episode!
Jewelry making is not my “thing”, believe me I’ve tried, but I might try it again after viewing this episode!
What a cool idea! I love to wear broochs and see all types of possibilities forming in my head. Thanks for the inspiration
I visited Amaco.com. Too many beautiful things to just pick one. I will add them to my favorites and order from them soon. I really want to try the plastic jewelry making. I hope I win the package your giving away. Keeping my fingers crossed.
loved the jewelery. it looks like the jewelery my daughters see in the little boutiques. plan to make several with my daughters. great tween project! The Amaco webiste has a lot of great ideas. will be sending this link to a friend who works with 9 – 11 year old girls.
This is a another fun segment. Who would have thought of making jewelry from washers!!?
So creative – I love the necklaces.
Great ideas for making your own original jewellery. Luv it.
Goodness, the jewelry looks fun!
I learned a lot on todays show. I am 67 but had never heard of the plastic sticks. I can’t wait to get to the Crafts and hardware store and start melting plastic. I plan to order some design sheets from Amaco also. I have really enjoyed this series and I don’t want it to stop. Love your show, Edwyna
This is such a fun project!
I posted your show on my facebook. I belong to a craft club and I know that all my friends will look todays show. Loved it Edwyna
What a fun idea. I can see my 2 daughters having a freat time making jewelry gifts! Thanks so much for the inspiration.
this has been my favorite show so far, even better than last week!! i didn’t think you could top it!! congratulations!!!
I used to love creating jewelry with friendly plastic, so glad it is making a comeback! =) Your pendants are great!
I loved this episode- I didn’t know they made a bead roller? Wow!
I visited Amaco- so many products I didn’t know I wanted to use, until I saw the projects! I will be reading their archives for a while!
My grandchildren will love making this jewelry with me. Thanks for the ideas!
I have always wanted to learn how to make jewelery but did not want to go to all the expense of the tools. This looked like fun.
I love jewelry & my daughter is a girly-girl. She’ll love this too. I love crafts we can do together! Thanks~
Oh my! I say it was about jewlery and thought finally something i’m not going to be dieing to do as soon as it’s over but I’ll watch it anyway. Once again you’ve made it look like so much fun and easy to do, I can’t wait to try it! Thank you!
I loved this! All of it was new to me…and I intend on making some of it with my granddaughter!
Hello! I really enjoyed your jewelry segment this morning! I have always been interested in jewelry designing but thought it would be a tedious project to undertake. I love the plastic jewelry making! I’m ready to get started! I’m going to the hardware store to get “metal washers”. Thanks so much!
Loved the lesson plan idea from the Amaco web site.
Wow, what a great prize package!!! I love the bead roller. That’s a great little tool! I make jewelry, but I use the regular beads etc. So this should be fun! Thanks for sharing!
As always, loved this week’s episode. Great jewelry and a fun way to make it.
Sandi
I went to AMACO’s craft library and was impressed that you can use the friendly plastic to make beads. That’s something that my daughters would really enjoy doing.
Great summer time project! Can’t wait to try it.
Love this, Episode. I do make jewlery, but you ladies showed me a new way of approching my creativity. I will also put the AMACO website in my favoriites catagory, to refer to it often. My creative juices are just over flowing in my brain.
Wow, loved the easy jewelry and what a great giveaway!
Smiles~
Marilyn
I love the bead roller- I am for sure going to seek that out!
I love their Amber Rose bracelet made from craft porcelain. Lovely and seems to be easier than I first though.
Smiles~
Marilyn
This looks like soooo much fun. I can see so much possibilities with using the plastic sticks and such a safe craft to do with the younger ones. I am looking forward to making the door hangers with the grandchildren. Thanks for the ideas.
I can’t wait to do these with my 4 grandgirls when they come this summer. They are all in middle or high school and this will set their fashion style for next fall! Amaco here I come!!!!!!
The jewelry is so pretty!!! (And so easy to make!) Neat ideas!
You did not mention if you covered the back of the washer. Please let us know.
Great episode as usual.
I love this idea for my 14 yr old grandaughter who will be spending a week with me soon. Quick question-did you cover the center section also on the copper/turquoise/black necklace or use a different metal for the base of the necklace? Thanks and keep up the great ideas for us grandmas!
oooh!!! Love the metal washer project! I have some of the large washers already for another project that didn’t work out. Now just need the friendly plastic! I’ve seen ads for that but now that I’ve seen a video on using it, I MUST HAVE SOME!
I love this easy way to make jewelry! Can’t wait to show my grandaughter.
Always something fun to learn. Thank you
That was very enjoyable and interesting! I loved the possibilities in jewelry! Keep the bling going Girls! Joyce
The jewelry is amazing!!!! I checked out Linda Peterson’s blog and wow what amazing work she does. Thanks for all the fun you girls bring in to the craft world. Gotta love it!!!!!!!!!!!
Love your ideas !!!
These are some really good ideas with jewelry making. I’m wondering if a hair dryer set on high would work the same as the heat tool? I’ll have to keep that in mind. If nothing else, my birthday is coming up so I can add one to my “wish list”. I have a tween that I know would LOVE to do these!
I enjoyed Friendly Plastic in the 80′s. I had some pellets still and was wondering what I could do woith them. Now I have ideas for granddaughters! I would love to win the package. Soooo much fun!
I was skeptical this week when I saw that the show was about jewelry-making…something I have zero experience with. After watching, I sooooo want to try this!!!!! I think it would be so much fun to use these Amaco products with my daughters. Thanks for sharing…and for broadening my crafting horizons!!!
What fun stuff!!!
I have loved the shows before, but especially love the jewelry project one! I plan to share with my granddaugher who will visit this summer. Good job!
Oh, this would be great to use with my Homemaker’s group!
Thanks for this episode! I LOVE making jewelry and this is a fun new technique I’m excited to try! The give away would be a great addition to my jewelry crafting!
LOVED the new episode, you always light the fire—– good on ya! Thanks!
I would love to make the Friendly plastic beads, using the bead rollers. What a fun product. Where have I been?
Very cool – I’ve never seen anything like this.
shared on FB.
Wow I loved those beads!! I am a jewelry maker myself but normally don’t use large charms because they cost so much which means I have to charge more for my jewelry. Using the washer and plastic sticks I should be able to create much cheaper and way more original pieces to use with my jewelry making! Thanks ladies for the great ideas.
I just posted your blog “button” on my blog and told my friends to head on over to pick up some awesome craft ideas for the summer!!
Lots of neat stuff on their site. A whole new world of crafting.
Maybe the friendly beads or the clay oven.
I just love the “Fracture & Fusion” Cuff bracelet project on amaco’s site. It’s gorgeous!
My granddaughters are coming to visit in a few weeks, and I think the washer necklaces would be fun to do with them – can’t wait!!!
Wow!! I usually prefer ‘real’ jewelry, but I think what you have shown today is absolutely beautiful!!
I have a pasta roller that fits on my KitchenAid mixer, so of course it is electric! But I think I love the beeds and washer jewelry the best!! My mind is going as I am writing and we are having a huge family get together at Thanksgiving this year. I can see having the children make something out of the clay and the mothers, with the fathers helping, making their own jewelry at the same time. I think it will make a wonderful family fun time! Thank so much for the great ideas:)
Too too too cute and easy I love the idea of making jewelry but always feel overwhelmed with all of the tools etc… but this was fast easy and unique!!! Thanks again for the fun stuff!!
I can totally get lost in the Amaco craft library! I do love the simplicity of the love you charm. So many spin offs you can do with this technique!
http://www.amaco.com/love-you-charms/
I enjoy watching these shows so much. I’ve never seen these items from Amaco before and I look forward to checking out their web site. Again, thank you for bringing these shows to us.
It’s hard to believe that I’ve been watching this each week for 10 weeks now! Congratulations!
very creative. this project is made for me. I have always wanted to learn how to do jewelry. And with my kids we can have fun and make things together. thanks for sharing.
Just shared this episode on facebook!!
What a fun website with AMACO! So many fun projects…. thanks for letting me know about it!
Fun projects! I enjoy watching your show. And thanks to Amaco for the giveaway opportunity!
Wow!
The jewelry is just stunning! A great look for a little price tag! Good work, ladies!
That looks so fun! I can see hours of time spent inside during this hot Arizona summer!
Oh have been wanting to make jewelry for awhile but didn’t want to spend a fortune on everything just to start so was really glad when I saw your video. Just loved it can’t wait to get started. Thanks Kay
Wow! and looks so fun and beautiful. I’ve never made jewelry before, might just have to try this.
I checked out the Amaco website and signed up to receive their email.
Shared your link on facebook. Hope many people look at the video of how easy it is to do.
I am so excited to take these ideas to our family reunion to keep the kids (toddlers to teens) busy all day! Thanks for the great ideas.
I love this weeks episode. I love making jewelry, and I remember years ago watching episodes on friendly plastic and puting it in hot pots to melt. I am glad I can use a heat gun to melt it. Never thought of that. Love the cloud clay to make jewerly also. My grandchildren would love to make items with the clay as well as help grandma make beads. Love love love this episode.
These are so cute! I want to make one for all of my sister in laws!
Those are great crafts!! I love your videos.
I love the jewelry ideas on the show.
On Amacos web site I loved the my heart of glass jewelry set. It was gorgeous.
So COOL! I’ve been shying away from jewelry construction because of lack of tools/know-how. This is perfect!
Mariette
So much fun! can’t wait to try with some of my friends.
posted about it on my blog!
Really enjoyed today’s show. Will give it a tryl
Beautiful jewelry! Who knew plastic was so cool again?
THeir fun wire butterfly headband project is beautiful and one that my girls would love.
loved so many of the crafts listed on Amaco. Also checked out there lesson plans. What fun!
Love the Amoco products!
Awesome jewelry!! Love that friendly plastic!
I am not much of a jewelry person, but really enjoyed this episode. I also like the look of the items that can be crafted. I am going straight to the AMACO site!
Cool! How creative!
I just started doing jewerly and this looks SOOO easy and fun. While working on the jewerly the other night my grandson came in and said I want to help so we let him but I think this would be an awesome project we could do together. And the hubby’s can’t complain as it is cheaper than Diamonds…lol. Great show really enjoyed it keep up the good work
What a great show! I so want to try that metalic plastic…what a cool product~
I will have my 18 yr old watch this episode. She’s home from college and just last Sunday was saying she’d like to try her hand at jewelry. She’s made a few things, but I know she’ll love the stuff available out there. We are so NOT in the know about what is available for our crafting needs or just don’t know how to use stuff. THanks!
I checked out projects using fun wire and found a grape cluster ensemble that is very pretty. I can even envision those grape clusters in home dec hanging by a window or from a lampshade….thanks for this informative show!
WOW! I can’t wait to get started with the plastic jewelry projects. This is something I can really see my daughter getting into. She is 5 and LOVES art!! I think I may be more excited than her!!!
I loved this episode. The jewelry looks great, unique and professional. And easy.
Connie
What a neat product you introduced today. Great show!
Awesomely fun!!! And great looking too!!
This is a really fun episode and I love the jewlery you created. I remember seeing Friendly Plastic on craft shows years ago, but never had time to try it out. Now that I’m retired, I work with polymer clay and I’m wondering if Friendly Plastic is compatible with polymer clay.
I wanna make jewerly!
I love the jewlery! I will be looking for the plastic sticks at the store.
Excellent Ladies – this again is fabulous -just when I think I have tapped off my crafting you have come to us with another great idea. My 5 year old is gonna love this and I love the jewelry – never thought I could do it but you made it look so easy. Koodos to you both – we are so happy you are able to bring all this to us!
I loved the dragon on the site. I will have to try this.
Fun projects thanks
I remember friendly plastic when it came out the first time. The big jewelry that people wore back in the 80′s was never my style but I knew many ladies who made their own out of friendly plastic. These new necklace designs with the washers and stamps are so me and I CAN’T WAIT to try it.
You gals are amazing. Thank you for the videos. Good luck everyone!
I’ve been wanting to make jewelry and searchin it out for the last week. Thank you so much for the ideas!!!!
I added the video to my blog.
these are super cute !! i cant wait to try them !
I love the jewelry idea. My teenager will love to make her own! Great summer project. Also will check out the Amoco website.
So loving this one!
The jewelry is so cute! I can’t wait until my husband “drags” me to the hardware store.
So very cool! My minds whirling overtime with ideas for beautiful things to make!
As usual, your ideas are so amazing and easy to accomplish. I love that about you!!!
I really have to try this Bead Making With Friendly Plastic® and AMACO® Bead Rollers. It’s to cool. I need to look into getting a bead roller. It looks really neat.
I have used the porcelain clay and love it and had some of the friendly plastic but didn’t know how to use it. Thank you for showing me the process!
As to which project………..That will depend on my mood (muse) of the day when I visit again (and I will).
love that this is a simple and inexpensive project, yet it is really pretty. I’m thinking teacher gifts!!
I can’t wait to try making something with the friendly plastic. I love that you can make the jewelry using the tools you already have. Thanks for sharing another great project!
I’ve enjoyed your shows and ideas – but this one I’m really excited for. I’ve got granddaughters excited about making jewelry and this seems easy to do. I love the hardware store and sections and its fun to see these ideas using hardware. I’ve never heard of the friendly plastic or cloud clay and am anxious to try these things.
I remember playing with friendly plastic when I was a kid! I have so many ideas on how to use it now!
Who knew making this fun jewelry could be so easy? I Love it
Tina Osborne
My kids would love this!!!!!
Thanks for the great tutorial on Jewelry Making. So excited to finally give it a try. I went to AMACO and found another great piece of jewelry – Pewter Tulips Pendent – in their Craft Library I need to try.
Telling my Women’s Bible Study group about your fantastic Web Site and tutorials! If I had a blog I certainly would post it there.
Love Amaco products!
This would be a fun church and family reunion activity with the kids.
I love making jewelry! never thought of making my own beads like this.
Thanks!
OMG! I have a box full of friendly plastic left from a 1980′s craft club I was in. Now I have a use for it. In the 80′s we made pins from ladies faces & used the plastic for hats & scarfs for the heads.
What a fun and easy jewelry project!
I have some of this plastic from years ago and didn’t know what to do with it. I am so glad I kept it! I found some washers my husband had so I am ready to go.
I had no idea that friendly plastic even existed. I’m so excited to hear about it and am just imagining all the possibilities!
I love the jewlry you made, it’s great to sse the old plastic stuff I remember from the 80″s!
FUN! FUN! FUN! My kids would LOVE this.
I like the “Make it in Metal” art project on there. That looks easy and fun.
Love the jewlry!
Love the jewelry!
yeah! what fun ideas!
I’m telling my all my sister in laws!
What a fun craft idea.
I love the bead rollers!
Looks awesome! Can’t wait to go shopping with the hubby.
I needed some fun ideas to do with teenagers and I think this is great! It’s nice that it will be easy but yet hace many different options for the girls. It’s great to see crafting becoming so popular again!
Great video! Another Friendly Plastic fan
It’s been a while since I checked the Amaco website, and was I surprised to see so many new Friendly Plastic projects. Can’t pick just one! I have to find time to do all the wonderful designs included in the project list.
How do you do the edge on the rectangle necklace that you were wearing? The one with the heat and stamp. I have always wanted to know how to do that.
Told a friend about this episode and the DIY Dish.
wow! cloud clay is great. so much easier for the little ones than ordinary modeling clay, not to mention the great colors. thanks for introducing amaco.com to us.
Love this project. It looks so easy.
I get so excited when I get your email alert of a new episode! Keep the fun and creative ideas coming!
So much fun! I can’t wait to give the jewelry a try! And I have four little girls that would have a ball with the clay!
What a fun and fabulous jewelry episode! Loved the plastic sheets. Ahhhhhhh…the 80′s!
I love this. A few years ago I gave away all of my friendly plastic. I could kick myself! Hope to win something!
I have watched all your DIY Dish episodes—you girls are so cute together. The thing I like about your projects is that they can be enjoyed by people of all skill levels and still come out with a fantastic looking project you can be proud to show off! Great for grandma’s and their grands to do together!
Loved the bee garden stake!
what a great video!
love the effect of the rub’n'buff
wow! I’m torn!
all the amaco projects look awesome!
although I was drawn to the fun wire projects–especially the butterfly garden stake!
WOW….those bead rollers are so cool, I’ve never seen those before, THANKS for showing them.
Love the jewelry! Cute stuff! Those bead rollers are great!
Thanks for the chance at winning.
You always have so many cute and new ideas to make at home! Thank you so much!
My ids will love this!
Always great fun ideas to do with my grandchildren…I look forward to each episode!
FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love making jewelry. This will be something new to try. I think this will be my gift to all my friends and family that attend my cookie swap at Christmas. Every year I try to make something special to give to them as my way of saying thanks. Can’t wait to try it. I already have ideas brewing.
Thanks for a great site.
I love making jewelry. I haven’t tried anything with the clay but I really like it.
The magic mud and the glow in the dark paint would be a hit with my kids!
super video–it all looks so easy…can’t wait to give it a try and create some beautiful bling!
Wow! What a great give-a-way. It all looks like a lot of fun!
Great Project! My 4 year old daughter sat with me while watching and has decided we have to make some of this cool jewelry! Thanks for making it a great bonding moment with her!
Hope I win!
I LOVE the jewelry! I even like that I can stamp on it. I can’t wait to try it.
I havent used clay for at least 10 yrs. Wait till I tell my husband I want to go with him to the hardware store. He will probably ask WHO ARE YOU and WHERE IS MY WIFE!!!! I can’t wait to make some jewelry with matching earring What a fun summer project Also always trying to find projects for the grandkids the younger ones will do clay for their little fingers and the older ones will make jewelry
Can’t wait!!!!
I always get so excited when I see I have an email with a craft episode from DYI. You make it look so easy and to see it done in a video is much easier than reading directions. LOVE YOUR WEBSITE!
I used the friendly plastic years ago. Glad to see it making a comeback.
Keep up the great webcasts..I really enjoy them.
Fun ideas! Always love jewelry, didn’t know about the cool bead rollers! Thanks
Friendly Plastic was so fun years ago, and I love the idea of using it with the washers to make jewerly-such fun & pretty necklaces. Thanks for the ideas. Hope to try it out soon. Hey, may just cover the washers I use for pattern weights & make them pretty!
Great for Cubs………and Jewelery for Girls Camps!
Love the jewelry, you make it look so simple!
I did this with the washers but I just glued beads and other little trinkets onto them. FUN!!!!!! Recommend it! sure is Chic!
Thanks for introducing us to new products. I’ll buy that clay to play with my grandgirls.
I make jewelry all the time & have Friendly Plastic from years ago! Can’t wait to try this. Was so glad to see how to use the bead rollers as I have looked at them so many times, but weren’t sure how they worked. Next time I go to town I’m getting them! Thanks!
Wow this looks like so much fun. I have always wanted to make my own jewelry, but never wanted to buy all the supplies. Thanks so much, can’t wait to try this!!! (Maybe for my next girls night)
I sent your video to all the girls on my contact list, I’m sure they would love to make their own jewelry! Thanks so much guys, I love to receive a new video every week, I just get so excited!
Keep up the great work!!
I think my kids would love the glow in the dark paint! I also love that the clay dries overnight, and
” NO baking in the oven” Fabulous!
Thanks so much!
Twenty cent jewelry – what could be better than that?
Thanks twins
Can’t wait to make my own jewelry! LOVE all the new projects you introduce, thanks!
Loved the jewerly. As always great show. Brenda
Wow! I’m off to raid my husband’s shed. Can’t wait to get melting and create my own range of jewellry. Thanks for all the great ideas and inspiration.
Very awesome jewelry!!!
love making jewelery out of unusual items

I shared this awesome episode!!!
Fun episode! Thnx so much. What was the piece that you used on top of the bobby pin? I’m very interested in that since my sweet little g’daughter has more hair than I do!
I remember the plastic sticks!! Wow! I used to make brooches with them a LOOOONG time ago! I’m going to get some friendly plastic tomorrow!! Love your webisodes so much!
Fun project! Loved it!
Coffee Bean Necklace & Earrings looks like a fun project – can’t wait to try it
Loved the episode on jewelry-making!
I shared this webisode with my daughters!
I liked the pottery clay angels craft project at AMACO.
Loved the washers made into jewlery
I bet I can find some of those washers in the tool box in the garage! Now a trip to get the other things. Great fun ideas!!
I really liked the Bee Garden Stake in the AMACO library.
As usual…another great episode!!
Wow!! My list of must do’s this summer just keeps getting longer
My friend forwarded your blog to me. I’ve been wanting to make jewellery for ages and the two of you have made it look so easy! I love the green pendant and I’m going to have a go at making it. I live in Australia and would like to know where i can get a heating tool from? Are you able to give me some brand names? Do AMACO have distributors here? Thanks!
Love the jewelry episode! I want to make some now!
I’m now inspired to use the friendly plastics.. can’t wait.
Okay, I really enjoyed this episode! Hardware store here I come! And then off to the Amaco web site.
Thanks for all you do!
Cute jewelry!
Great jewelry ideas – thanks – I want to try all of them – now just need to afford the supplies – Thanks for sharing!
Really neat jewelry! I am inspired to do some of this with my grandkids! Thanks so much.
I took a look at the Amaco website and was interested in the handmade cards ideas. I love making one-of-a-kind cards for my family and friends. Thanks for the link to the site.
love the jewelry. I have never tried these techniques. You ladies make it look so easy. Will have to give it a try;o)
Thanks for the great ideas.
i was interested in jewlry making but don’t have the room or the extra money. Your show makes easy and affordable. Thanks, Ladies
How fun!! I can’t wait to try it.
My granddaughter just loves to make jewellry, but some of them are too hard for us to do…..this episode just solved all those problems! And I can hardly wait to try some of the other projects on their site.
Oh my gosh that looks like SO much fun. I really loved the use of the metal washers and heat gun. Those really were awesome looking. And that bead roller was just too cool. I am already wondering how well that would work with fondant for cake decorating.
I have been looking for an ideal project to do with my 2 teenage granddaughters…this jewelry is IT! TY so much.
Where did you purchase the hair pins for embellishing? I looked at Michaels today and could not find any. Thanks!
My kids watched with me and they can’t wait to try the monster door hangers! Thanks for the great ideas, you two are always fun to watch!
very fun projects !
I love the jewelry! I have been working on a few pieces and this will be a great addition!
I went to the AMACO website and loved the candy stripe pendant. I think I could do that!
Definite plans for the washer necklaces…maybe while the guys are fishing!!!
Love the ideas.
This is a great way to start making jewelry without all the supplies typically needed! The friendly plastic sheets have so many uses!
perfect timing, great summer projects for the kiddos
I looked at their website — so many great ideas! The “pinwheel jewelry plant stake” project is pretty. I think my son would enjoy the Cloud Clay.
Wow! Love those beads. When I finish exploring the episode 10 section, I’m going straight to the AMACO site for some more inspiration. Thanks again.
Love that jewelry. Can’t wait to try it out on my own.
Cute ideas! I have never made jewelry before but it sounds interesting!!
I love the day and night mobile idea! It would look super cute in my baby’s room!!!
Fun ideas to make and wear. I like the hair pins.
I watched your 10th episode and I was impressed by the bead roller I thought that I can use it for rolling fondant beads to decorate cakes. They will be all the sazme size! Thank you for those clever projecs!
I love the jewelry and I’ve never tried making any, but I think this may prompt me to try!
Awesome tutorial on the metal washer with FP!
I need to head to the local hardware store for some
of those washers(and will try to remember to write the bin #)
What a great an unique gift this would make. You two rock!
What a fantastic giveaway! Ive never heard of those friendly plastic things, but they seem pretty fun!
I like the Amaco Crocus Charms Bracelet project!
What a fun show this week!! My granddaughters are always making jewelry for themselves and they will love all of the fun and creative ideas that you presented today! Tha AMACO website has some inspiring ideas!! Thank you!!
Another great episode!!!!
Somewhere I still have some of the plastic sticks from the 80′s! Now I have to dig them out. The jewelry projects look so cool!
What absolutely amazing jewelry pieces! I just loved hearing about how to use this “new to me” product…thanks so much!
I visited Amaco’s site, and loved all the detailed instructions of how to work with the plastic strips. The butterfly ring and headband are so cute!
Just wanted to let you know that this episode was definitely blog worthy, lol. You can find the link here:
http://gettinitpegged.com/2010/05/25/beautiful-bling/
I also talked about you on FB…
…and Twitter.
Very happy to spread the news!
You two are just the cutest things ever. Such fun!!
Wow! This video has inspired me so much. I’ve always wanted to make my own jewelry but couldn’t afford all those tools and materials. Now thanks to you gals my dream has come true. You’re appreciated more than you can ever imagine. Thank you so much.
Oh—friendly plastic is back in style! I really have got to get myself some of that to play with!
This looks like soooo much fun… holding all my fingers to win the giveaway !!!
from the aamaco website –
I love the Fly Away Butterfly Pendant. It is simple, and done in bright colors which I adore!
I remember the plastic strip jewelry from the 80′s, but this is definitely classier. I can’t wait to try the metal washer necklace. I don’t have a pasta machine, but that is downright clever!
What awesome ideas. I am always looking for unique ideas for family & friends. I can hardly wait to get some supplies!!
Another great idea girls, looking forward to the grandchildren’s visit this summer and looking for some fun stuff to do and I know they will love this and show their creativeness too. Also we get to make memories what could be more fun?
Just visited Amaco site I loved it I really love the fall pumpkins will have to do that for decorations they are way too cute, could be a very addictive site. I am from Canada so I am going to see if their products are sold here first.
What an awesome idea! It’s easy and fun!
I’ve always been intrigued by the things that can be created with the various clays. These are totally awesome! Would love to have the equipment to give this a try.
I love your show — FUN STUFF!
I loved the Rose in the snow ornament and push molds look like something I could actually do. I’ll try and embed your button on my blog. Love your shows, keep it up!
I just loved it;it’s amazing
what fun! my girls would love to make some jewelery like this!
Wow! I love, love, love the metal washer jewelry. I have tried making jewelry before and it was a total disaster. But this looks so easy. Thank you for posting this video. I have been faithfully watching since episode 1 and I have loved them all. Keep up the great work.
Wow! Y’all made it look so easy! I wanna get some of that! I was a teen in the 80′s so I remember friendly plastic!!!
Already told my two neighbor stay-at-home moms about it! We are always looking for fun new stuff to do together! Thanks!
I checked out the website…I can’t get over the plates that you can put through the pasta machine! That is so cool! I am amazed every time I watch your show!
This was a fantastic show–it was all new and very exciting–can hardly wait to try it! Thank you so much for sharing these amazing ideas!! Great show!!
I loved using rubber stamps in jewelry making. Thanks for the ideas!
Love, Love, Love it! Great Episode. Jewelry is my favorite!
Yesterday I told all 3 of my sisters. I can’t wait to get together with one of them and our tweens and make some of these, it will be a lot of fun!
I added your button to my Creative Blog!
OH- I love the Amaco Library. I could spend forever there. I think the Bead Roller Projects and Crafts look fun. I like this Candy striped Bead http://www.amaco.com/candystripe-beads-beadrollers/
Cool ideas! I’m looking forward to trying them out!
love the projects on the AMACO site. am definitely going to make a “dangle art doll necklace” this weekend – FIMO® Soft Polymer Clay and push molds… Can’t wait. AND also – would love to win the giveaway. what a great collection. thanks for featuring the Amaco products.
This jewelry looks like a great project for my daughters and I this summer!
I loved the new ideas for some summer fun with my tween and teen, THANKS!
I love those necklaces! Great work ladies!
Went to the AMACO website and I LOVE
Went to the AMACO website and I LOVE the 24 gauge funwire! The project I saw used it to make sweet little words in cursive (so cute…) for a photo gift. I love things like this that I can use to embellish projects…looks professional! Wahoo! Go team!
I love the Art Emboss pendants at Amaco.
I love this clay project. I am so excited to try this. I have been looking for some pink beads that I could not find…now I know that I can make them with the AMACO cloy.
Wow I love this idea. Thanks for the great how to…….. My 12 year old is going to love making some of these washer pendants with me.
I have used AMACO products and they are great! Fabulous jewelry. Thanks for the projects.
Thanks so much for showing us that great jewelry. I love jewelry!! This will be great for birthday and Christmas gifts this year. Thanks again for the inspriation.
Lots of cute ideas on the AMACO site. I like that Bee Garden stake idea, could be very cute with several other bugs and insects sticking out of the houseplants.
My dining room table is full of glass tile pendants (and my daughter’s bottle cap necklaces) now I have something new to make! You do a great job thanks!
I LOVE this new site. My sister told me about SWAKembroidery a couple years ago. Now I have told her about the DIY Dish!
Love the jewelry ideas! We just made glass bubble pendants at MOPS last week, and I was thinking how much fun it would be to personalize jewelry for the grandmothers. I will definitely be using some of your ideas!
Just went to AMACO website. I loved it. I can’t wait to do the Tropical Sunshine necklace. So fun and easy. I love it.
I love all the jewlery that you showed how to make on your site. What an inspiration to me. Can’t wait to try it.
I went to AMACO.com and found the instructions forusing the bead roller. I have one and hadn’t used it yet. Inspiration to get going!
This looks like so much fun! The pieces look so professional too! I’m glad a 3day weekend is comming up!
I totally, totally loved this segment! I love making jewelry. DIY Dish always shows such neat projects and introduces such neat products. Thank you for these fun video tutorials!
Visited the Amaco library. Lots of great projects on there. This one in particular caught my eye:
http://www.amaco.com/embedded-images-pinscrapbook-embellishment/
How fun these would be to add to a gift or on a handmade card. Too neat.
I also posted a link on my facebook profile for the DIY Dish.
Thanks for the fun episode.
Great fun! Just wanted to let you know that Linda Petersons blog was wrong on the video…it had an “S” at the end of plastics… it should read: http://friendlyplastic.blogspot.com/ instead of http://friendlyplastics.blogspot.com/.
So fun! We will definately making some of this after school gets out!
I liked the uptown ladies and the roller bead projercts I can find a 100 ways to use these items in my crazy quilting embellishments.
I can hardly wait to visit the amaco library. I’m sure there will be lots of ideas I can share with friends & all my grandkids. Summer is the best time for visits–everyone has more time, plus involving them in crafts helps us get closer & creates a bond even though they live far away & we don’t see each other as often as we’d like to see them.
Wow…I love the two of you! The jelery is great. Thanks for what you do.
This jewellery is great. Fairly easy and inexpensive to make, but very effective to wear. Thank you for this video.
How cool! I just ordered some friendly plastic to make necklaces with my daughters. This will be a great project for summer break which starts in 2 days! We’ll hit the hardware store when our plastic arrives!
Wow–what a great giveaway!! Think of all the things I could do with the kids this summer! THANKS!!
This looks like a lot of fun. I will definitely try this craft. Thank you!
Oh how I remember the days of fun friendly plastic!!!! This is awesome! I’ll be sure to share it with my jewelry making friend when I’m there today!!!
Cute Ideas we have lots of monsters every night!
These are great ideas just in time for the kids to do this summer! Thank you.
As always…another great episode!
I remember friendly plastic! What fun to see it used here again! My kids will LOVE making their own jewelry with me!
Loved the jewerly.. My girls and i are just getting into that so we might just have to work on that this summer.
Wow! I love the bead making roller! It is just what you need to make beads for a necklace. You both do a great job & I look forward to what you do next!!!
What a fun way of making jewelry! Thanks for sharing!
My husband has a ton of washers, I can’t wait to try some jewelry!!
love the jewelry ideas, can’t wait to try them.
always wanted to do beads ,but it required too many tools andd supplies tha amaco products are so
much easier than what I have seen before can’t wait . will be trying it myself
I love these crafts. I like being able to view them in my own home. Grandchildren are going to love making these crafts when they come to Granny’s house.
The pendants are gorgeous, and I love the extra uses for embossing tools and stamps.
I love the idea of using the heater to melt the plastic. Now i have another use for my embossing heater! The bead roller is great. I’ve never seen that product before.
How fun and clever!
Love the jewelry idea. And i love your blog.. I am getting all sorts of ideas….
Now you are so clever!!!! Love the jewelry, will visit the hardware store during lunch hour tomorrow. Thanks for all the great ideas.
I must buy those plastic sticks. What a great project to do with my daughter.
I love, love, love this project! I’ve recently just picked up jewelry making and anything that looks simple is on my must try list. This project has just been placed at the top of the list! Thank you for sharing this great project.
I loved the way Linda used the Peel ‘n Stick Metal Accent sheets to embellish cards. I’ll have to try that myself. Those bead rollers would be a lot of fun too.
I never heard of friendly plastic, but after your show this week, and after going to the AMACO website, I cant wait to get some Friendly Plastic! Thanks for all the inspiration!
Love your show! Perfect time for fun summer projects. Can’t wait to get to the hardware store!
So creative. Will need to try it with my daughters.
I loved your show about the jewelry and the clay. i have already checked out AMACO website and i’m ready to go shopping at HL and the hardware store. Thanks for your weekly shows. Keep up the good work.

I think these necklaces would make great gifts.
When I went to the AMACO website the kilns and pottery stuff caught my attention.
I loved your episode. I liked knowing about the bead rollers. thanks
I’m now addicted.
Loved this episode! I need to get the heating tool so I can make some necklaces.

Hello
I liked the easy way of working with Friendly Plastic Designer Sticks. Many ideas were generated in my mind to use the product, it’s wonderful all the beautiful things I can do with it without much investment.
I check the library and found many cute ideas. I can not wait to have the products and let the imagination fly
Thanks
Mariana
I have been wondering where to get that clay! We played with it once, but had no idea where it came from. Thanks for the great episode!

I can’t wait to try the jewelry techniques! I’m always in the need of new jewelry ideas…especially ones that rock the 80′s products! Thanks again for a great show!
Those look like some fun jewelry projects. My oldest daughter would love to make her own jewelry and my middle daughter would love the cloud clay.
What a great prize. Please sign me up. The air clay would also be fun for the kids (big, and small) for Christmas ornaments. The jewelry would make fantastic gifts for anyone. I look forward to your show each week and give your blog to all my friends. Thanks
I love the show can’t wait to try it for myself!
Great jewelry. Always looking for new ideas with clay. Keep up the good work.
Never even heard of this metallic plastic! This looks like a fun, easy project to use my acrylic stamps with. Thanks!
Can never have too many pieces of jewelry!
Again, another great show. You have inspired me to pull out my friendly plastic from “back in the day”.
Would love all the great items from Amaco, thanks for the chance.

The teacup recipe card holder project by Linda Peterson is a cute idea!
You girls are so creative and have fun ideas! I am excited to try this project because it is one that I can do with my kids. This will be a great summer project! Thanks!
I just visited the AMACO website and it has some great projects!!! It is one I will have to remember for sure. One of my favorite projects on their website was the bee garden stake. I love to garden and this would be a perfect decoration!
I loved the jewelry demo. Looks like something I could do with my grandchildren. It would be lots of fun! Thanks!!
WOW! I didn’t even have to go to the store. LOL I have some of the plastic in my stash & I raided my husbands stash of washers. This was a totally free craft & a lot of fun. Thanks for some new ideas on things I have & couldn’t part with. I did go & get some more colors though! hehe
this will make a great actvivity for the kids!! they were looking at the screen and loved the door hangers! I can’t wait to make the jewlery!! yeah!!!
You guys are great! I was busy doing other things during the 80′s so missed out on those friendly plastic strips – I’ll try them! And the cloud clay is just what I want to play with my grand-daughter – many thanks! Al Herron
I am so excited to get the materials for this project! I love the red one you made. Can you use a blow dryer or does it blow too much air?
I totally want to make the Overglaze Decoration on Tiles from the Amaco site.
Love the hardware jewelry, several years ago found a book with lots of ideas using items from hardware store, but I really like the combination of products.
Sisters crafting together is also fabulous.
I love the jewelry! Very artistic, and you’d never guess what it’s made of. Can’t wait to try this project.
The Amaco website is great. Their products seem very user-friendly. I like the Blooming Cylinder necklace – it looks a lot like the fused-glass necklaces I have seen at gift shops and craft shows.
I like the washer project and the stamping. What a great idea! I haven’t played with friendly plastic for years! It is time to start playing again.
My 6-yr. old loves to watch your episodes with me. I really enjoyed this one on jewelry making. I’d love to win!!! This looks like fun!!!
Love, Love, Love this idea. Although I tried friendlyplastics.blogspot.com and it didn’t work
Shared this project with my craft group.
My one year old loves dancing to the music in your episodes! The jewelry projects with the Amaco products look like so much fun! I am off to check out the Amaco website.
I loved your jewlery show. I was away and when I came home I was pleased to have this in my email box. This is a great show and my 6 year old grandaughter and I will be making some jewlery pieces. She loves these shows and we would LOVE to win the prize from AMACO. Please pick us!!!

The Butterfly Explosion box caught my eye–it uses the copper ArtEmboss sheets.

Very cute crafts.
What fun!!!! Franny
I just love everything you do so informantive and new websites I will really use can’t wait to do this with my granddaughters. I have been wanting to find some crafts to do with them this summer and I make alot of jewelry. I have never used the clay but have been wanting to experiment with it and I already have the pasta machine. I love watching you I have identical twin daughters about the same age as the 2 of you.
a great way to have some with the grandkids and to make some really neat stuff for family& friends. also did the chain on the jewerly that you were wearing did it come from hardware store to ?
I did make jewelry with “friendly plastic” back in the 80′s. This episode brings back so many memories and makes me want to start making jewelry all over again!
Oh my gosh their website is sooooo fun! My favorite project (if I can only choose one) is the coffee bean necklace and earrings made with the bead rollers.
MY DAUGHTERS WOULD LOVE TO MAKE SOME JEWERLY!
GREAT EPISODE!!
[...] Episode 10: Hardware Store Meets Chic Jewelry Design [...]
I tried the friendly plastic with the metal washers. I made two. They both looked great. one, however did not adhere to the metal. I tried glue,E600, and it still would not stick. Lynn
WOW! AMACO has some VERY VERY cool products! Who knew that plastic and clay were so versatile? I will definitely make these projects with my children! I’ve already placed my order and I can’t wait to get started! In fact, I’m thinking of having a “grown-up” jewelry making party with all my friends. Thanks so much for the great idea! Thanks to AMACO for the generous prize for your giveaway too!
Ok, so as far as the project I would LOVE to try from the AMACO’s craft library–this one definitely caught my eye LOVE IT: http://www.amaco.com/contemporary-faux-glass-choker !!
Oh what a great craft ! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win this package ,,,,, IT IS AWESOME. So many neat ideas that are offered on this site,,,,, and it is geared for all age groups,,, which I just love.

Wow, I had no idea Friendly Plastic could make such lovely pieces! I am off to the store right now to pick out some washers and some Friendly Plastic. I cannot wait to try this technique. Thanks Kris and Kim!
Great ideas! I can’t wait to try them.
Amaco has so many great things. My daughter and I now have a very long list of things we would like.
I love this project. I can’t wait to try making some of the great Jewelry!
Ok, so as far as the project I would LOVE to try from the AMACO’s craft library–this one definitely caught my eye LOVE IT: http://www.amaco.com/contemporary-faux-glass-choker !!
nice video and great giveaway.
I love jewelry, and I do have some of these “sticks” in my colletcion of crafty items.
Thanks for sharing,
Blessings,
ellen
I am going to the AMACO site right now!!
Denise
I really want to get some bead rollers and make my own jewlry!
Denise
Love the AMACO products.
Thank you again for the great ideas!
I just visited the AMACO website. I already have a cart started. Thank you again.
As you suggested, I viewed the AMACO web site and broused projects for a bit. One that I was particularly interested in was the light and breezy bath salts vase. Living on the beautiful Emerald Coast of Florida makes it a perfect accent to our “beachy decor.” Thanks!
All I can say is, “Off to AMACO and the hardware store!!” Thanks, Girls!! Another fab show!”
Haven’t been to the hardware store in years. Think I’ll take a visit tomorrow! Love your ideas and your show.
oh my goodness my world has just been opened to an abundance of possibilities! Who knew jewelry could be that fantastically simple?! Crazy!
I just visited the amaco site and am amazed at what sort of things they have. The possibilities are endless! I thought the griddle technique was fascinating and it makes me that much more excited to try as I have a griddle and not a heat gun… I also want to try the tinfoil. I think a 3D shape would be neat, but also what would happen if you crinkled it up for some texture on the back side? worth a try…
Thanks for showing me the amazing world of Friendly Plastic!
I love the jewelry and will be trying it this summer. I was wondering though, where did you get the bobby pins?
I love this jewelry. I am getting some great Christmas gift ideas. Thanks!
The clay monster is so neat. My kids would love to make it!
I didn’t know you could do such nice items with friendly plastic.
This is SO cool!
I love using unexpected supplies to make jewelry!
The metal accented handbag looks like a fun project!
The jewerly is so pretty and so easy to make. I can’t wait to make a necklace.
Thanx!! I had forgotten I had Plastic Strips hanging around. I never quite knew what to do with them. NOW I DO!! You make it look so easy. So I know what I will be doing in the next few days-playing & designing with my plastic strips-making jewelry!!
I really enjoyed episode #10. I am really inspired to make jewelry using your ideas
Thank you very much
interesting to use a pasta machine to work with clay….
This is really exciting, I found a project that my grandkids can make for their mom, with out her knowing it.
I would love to make these
Love it! Can’t wait to use my stash of friendly plastics left over from the 80-90s! LOL
Love the jewelry – ideas are spinning in my head!
Awesome idea, I love making jewelry, especially when it is this simple.
Oh my gosh I love this! I don’t wear alot of jewelry because I am sensitive to nickle but with this I can cover it with the plastic and have gorgeous items to wears and not end up with a rash for a week afterward, thanks Kris and Kim!!
I loved the two minute craft. Perfect Beads too:)
Enjoyed visiting the Amaco website. Would love to see you do a segment on the Teacup Recipe Card Holder. Too cute!
OOOO Would soo love this for my grandson who loves coming downstairs and playing with my polymer clay. He loves the pasta machine. And Of course my 15 yr old who is always trying to steal my stuff….
Oh, I love this! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I would love to make the “Amber Rose Bracelet”!
I never knew how easy and fun it would be to make jewelry.
Sent the link to a friend who makes jewelry. Thanks for the great giveaway.
I love your videos! I had never heard of friendly plastics before, but you can bet they are on my “to get” list now!
I just sent out your video on facebook, I know some of my friends will love it!
I love the Autumn Fires pendants on the AMACO website, they are soo pretty.
Sorry for posting again, but I just noticed that the link to Linda Peterson’s website is wrong. I tried going there, but there were no posts. It is friendlyplastic.blogspot.com BTW Thanks for the great giveaways!
How fun! Love the use of the stamps. I’m thinking we could also use this technique with Friendly Plastic on metal switchplates. My kids and I have done something similar with poly clay with good results. Checked out AMACO’s website, I like the Amber Rose Bracelet. I’m emailing this episode to my crafty girlfriend who’s looking for ideas for summer kid crafts.
I’ve never heard of Cloud Clay–I must be out of the polymer clay loop. I’ve been concentrating on knitting lately, but I loooove polymer clay!
I have loved exploring easy jewlery making ideas. I am adding this to me list!
I enjoy the episodes!
Don’t have a blog, or facebook…but have told several friends about your blog!
Their scrapbooking stuff looked really neat, and I love the look of the rub and buff stuff!!
Loved the embossed look of stamping into the friendlyplastic — it looks so classy.
I’ve seen other necklaces made with those washers, but I think these are my favorite. So cute!
I have friendly plastic left from 80s. This jewelry is nicer than what I made back than. I am adding bits of lace to the melted plastic. Thank you.
Love your show, you are both just darling. I’m making things and getting new ideas to make beautiful new jewelry to sell on my etsy shop. I’m just getting started but hoping it will supplement my social security. I’ve had a wearable art business in the early eighties, my 1st customer was Nordstrom’s.
Keep those ideas coming.

I’m anxious to try this project with my three grand daughters. What great ideas you have!
I had seen the plastic before at the craft stores but never knew what you could do with it. Can’t wait to go get some and try it out.
Very easy and beautiful!
Have seen fantastic plastic but never really cared about trying it. Now I want to go out and get some and make this jewelry! Thanks for the episode on jewelry!!

Care ought to be taken when dealing with the stone, as it can not withstand sudden temperature versions.
If you have a double oven, set both up the same way.
