Steampunk Project #1-Bead Embellished Buttons
design by Michelle Mach

One of the differences between steampunk- and vintage-style is the more mechanical aspect of steampunk elements, using pieces which once functioned rather than which were purely decorative. The steampunk-style bead embroidered buttons presented in this eBook make great clasps for a steampunk necklace or bracelet!

Steampunk Project #2-Multi-Metal and Cold-Connected Bracelet
design by Helen Driggs   

Helen Driggs' Multi-Metal and Cold-Connected bracelet project is a perfect example of the industrial side of steampunk jewelry. A beginner can easily create the circle units in this bracelet -  and vary them to take their steampunk jewelry further.

Steampunk Project #3-Sassy Sisters Bracelet
design by Jean Campbell

A fun twist on steampunk jewelry, Jean Campbell's Sassy Sisters bracelet uses tiny keys, buttons and charms to create a personal steampunk statement bracelet. This bracelet celebrates the trio of women in the designer's family. Because the photographs are so subtle, they will probably just look like small, organic patterns from far away, but the wearer will know she's surrounded by the women who love her. Special photos can be added to charms or buttons can be added to create a special steampunk keepsake.

Steampunk Project #4-Funky Romance
design by Marlene Blessing

This graceful beaded steampunk necklace includes skeleton keys, gears, industrial hardware, and other steampunk supplies to make an incredible steampunk necklace with a one-of-a-kind style.
