Wire-Wrapped Single Bead Necklace

Wire Wrapped Single Bead Necklace

I loved yesterday's bracelet so much that I had to make it a set!  I made a necklace, too.  This is actually the faster of the two projects as you will only need to wrap one bead - this necklace should take you less than 10 minutes to make!  What do you think?   If you caught ...

Wire-Wrapped Bead Bracelet

Wire-Wrapped Bead Bracelet

Back in November, Natalie over at North Shore Days guest-posted a tutorial here at Happy Hour on how to make wire-wrapped sea glass earrings.  They were beautiful!  But if you read here often you already know that my weakness is bracelets.  I loved Natalie's technique, though - it's elegant yet ...

Top Five Craft Projects

Happy New Year!  I hope yours is already off to a great start.  (You know, as great a start as the first few hours of the new year can be.)  Fair warning... today's post is full of me just talking.  It's the new year... I'm full of introspection.  I don't post my own musings very often, but it's one ...

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
