For The Makers Subscription Box Review - October 2013

For the Makers is a monthly DIY subscription box centered around jewelry. (There's usually at least one non-jewelry project too).

The finished product!

I really like the simplicity of this bracelet and the colors - plus gold jewelry is my favorite!

FYI - almost all projects I've done from For The Makers require jewelry tools - pliers, wire cutters, etc.

Golden Rod Necklace Materials

I think I'm spoiled by Project DIY - I want all my finished jewelry pieces to look super professional! This necklace wasn't my favorite - but maybe I'll like it more when the kinks come out of the thread!

Botanical Mini Notes Materials

These notes turned out so cute! I love the botanical print for the mini envelopes, and I was just so happy to see that the non-jewelry project this month didn't involve sewing!

Verdict: I like For the Makers - I think the projects can be a little bit more involved than other DIY project boxes, but this month's projects were pretty easy for a novice like me!

What do you think of For The Makers?

Hi Liz!
Thanks for posting about the projects. Happy to hear you liked them! We provided a tip on the Goldenrod Necklace tutorial to wet the thread and let it dry first to get the kinks out! Hopefully that will help.

We also have a jewelry tool starter kit available in our shop for those that are in need of the tools to make the projects.

Happy making,
