 GET YOUR SPARKLE ON

“Much like the way her design-your-own jewelry boutiques, Femmegems, broke the mold of  conventional “bead stores”, now Lindsay Cain, the owner and creator, does it again in the pages of Get Your Sparkle On.” Unlike predictable manual-style crafting books, Get Your Sparkle On is loaded with tips and tricks for creating your own high-end and elegant bejeweled accessories, without maxing out your credit card. From the fashion editor to the rockstar to the bohemian -- spanning the boardroom to the bedroom -- each of the 25 projects is partnered with an iconic woman’s style as an organizational approach. Step-by-step instructions for brilliant earrings, bracelets, necklaces, lariats and more come with humorous sidebars, illustrations and quips from the author from start to finish. Along with divinely easy projects, practical and witty advice is sprinkled throughout the book including the repurposing of forgotten hand-me-down gems, recreating jewelry box buried treasures, and even mixing the perfect cocktail to accompany your DIY jewelry party!

Park Avenue Gemstyle ~ Razzle Dazzle Tassle Earrings

“Rip the tassels from your overstuffed Palm Beach couch (or visit your local trimmings store) to make these luxe, kicky earrings. The technique is simple, but the color possibilities are as endless as a Park Avenue princess’s credit limit!...”

Beach Babe Gemstyle ~ She Sells Seashells Necklace

“Beach jewelry does not mean just puka shells and rope bracelets. This summer, why don’t you gussy up those cute tanks and flip-flops with this luscious beach-goddess number instead? Or toss it on with a skimpy white dress and a little bronzer for a sunset beach party! The length of the branch coral pieces make this a fairly substantial necklace, so it is better worn longer than as a choker. Don’t be daunted by the irregular shape of the pieces – they behave just like beads!...”

Party Girl Gemstyle ~ Kicky Knickers

“Come on down off the bar, party girl, and let’s take a look in your undies drawer! Those granny panties deserve a makeover, so why not sew on a few fun gemstones? Add just a couple in one corner or load on the stones and really make them twinkle! Next time you’re up there dancing on the bar, you’ll be sporting a little extra sparkle in case someone sneeks a peek!...”
