Garnet pendant necklace

If Mom's still got your grade-school drawings tucked away somewhere, we know what she wants on her day: something you made with your own two hands. Sculpt bold beads or a posh pendant out of good old oven-hardening molding clay, then add stylish details, and you'll have a grown-up accessory that she'll display with pride.

Stash rings in a miniature pouch to tuck inside your matching Quilted Jewelry Roll.

These shimmery creations range from a subtle one-inch length to a shoulder-dusting six. We've always been fans, but tassels are truly having a moment, and no wonder: The light-weight embellishments make a big sartorial statement when worn with summer basics. And while they look high-fashion, they're low-effort.

Yours can be made in any style of braid or knot, and in any color combination for a soft ombré effect. Pair this summer statement accessory with a flowy dress for a beachy bohemian look, or wear with a white shirt for that perfect statement piece.

Add strategic ribbon, and a mini quilt becomes a handy travel case for all your bits and baubles—and at just 20 by 10 inches, it's an unintimidating project for those with entry-level sewing skills. Pair it with a matching Drawstring Jewelry Pouch.

Keep your silver, gold, and baubles sparkling—sans tarnishes—with these practical tips.

Rings, necklaces, earrings, even keys and coins — this dish serves as a catch-all for everything. A bright pop of color and a scallop edge makes it perfect for Mother's Day. You can create so many unique designs using only temporary tattoos.

Give ordinary jewelry dishes a pop of color and a whirly-swirly look. Storebought marbling medium makes this an easy project!

The colorful bands and crystallized texture that gives this semi-precious stone its signature look can be customized to your Christmas tree. In pendant form, hang them from the boughs as eye-catching statement pieces.

Not everyone is the full-on-costume type. For a subtle and stylish nod to this month's holiday, try donning a skull necklace or bracelet. As intricate as they look, the little skulls are quite simple to make from affordable oven-bake clay.
