Wooden Jewelry Making Kits
It's easy to get started making unique wooden jewelry:
Grab pliers, your favorite finishes and enjoy!
There are many ways to transform the wooden blanks into beautiful earrings.
We've shared some of our favorite ideas on the right.
Have fun hosting a craft party, create unique gifts for your loved ones or sell your handmade creations at the local vendors fairs!
Use a pyrography pen to engrave freehand drawings.
Using the same tool, engrave different geometric shape prior to staining or painting. The engraved lines will stop the paint (or wood stain) from running and no primer will be necessary.
Apply primer first, let dry and then use the wooden blanks as small canvas of wearable art. Paint a beautiful scenery, a portrait, personalized pet or fun patterns.
Add unexpected crafts elements, like die-cut leather, rhinestones , beads etc.
FAQ
1. How to assemble the earrings?
Use two pairs of pliers (we recommend flat nose pliers).
To open the jump rings included in your kit, use pliers to hold a ring. Using the second pair of pliers, fold the ring open either towards or against you. Slip the wooden earring and the ear hook through the opening, making sure your design will fall on the right side when worn.
IMPORTANT: Do not pull the ring apart as it would weaken the metal and give the ring an odd shape in the end.
If it's your first time handling jewelry tools, take a moment to understand the jump ring opening technique at this link (No worries, it's quite easy!):

There are a few extra rings included in each kit to practice.
2. What are the included supplies made of?
The wood blanks are made of American baltic birch plywood B/BB grade laser cut in our Maine studio.
The metal findings are made of hypoallergenic 304 stainless steel.
Lastly, the ear nuts are made of silicone.
3. I'm trying to paint a design with acrylic paints but the paint is running through the wood fibers. How can this be prevented?
When using this technique, make sure to first apply a primer on the wood to create a smooth, sealed surface to paint on.
4. What clear coat finishes do you recommend to protect a finished wooden earring?
There are a few options. If using stains, there are natural finishes like linseed oil that will seal both the design and edges.
We like General Finishes matte and glossy water-based coatings which are applied using a paintbrush. They don't have a strong smell like some other products. You'll get an EXTRA smooth finish by applying 3 times and sanding gently once each coat has dried.
Spray can acrylic finish is a good option for a quick, easy sealant.
