Vintage Inspired Resin Necklace

Stamped Cuff Bracelet

Stamped Cuff Bracelet

I made up a fun little winter-themed bracelet over the weekend and I love how it turned out.  This was the first time I ever tried an all-over stamping pattern, and it makes for a really fun textured effect. Because a cuff bracelet takes a lot more metal than say, a charm, I ordered aluminum ...

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!
