You're probably preparing for the children's return to school, and maybe you're looking for creative and trendy ideas for your return to the office. That's why we've delved into the many Perles & Co tutorials and selected the ones you liked best.
Missed out? It's time to catch up! In this article, discover the top 10 most popular tutorials (and our favorites too): Brazilian bracelet, seed bead flower bracelet, gold-plated stainless steel chain bracelet, pearl earrings... and many more. A pretty selection of tutorials for a smooth transition to autumn, while prolonging summer (a little) longer. You'll be on top form for back-to-school!

1 - Vintage double creole earrings in green pearls

We loved using resin beads to make the creole earrings we saw everywhere. They make our DIY jewelry light and airy. Here's an original version of pearl earrings with two superimposed hoops,
These resin beads have an imitation Malachite color, but there's nothing to stop you finding the shade you like best among all our round resin beads.

2 - Blue Brazilian bracelet with diamond pattern

The Brazilian bracelet is the star of the summer season, even if it's always in fashion after the start of the school year. This model of friendship bracelet is very practical, as it has a lobster clasp for easy on and off and an extension chain for adjusting it.
Hanging on the wrist, it will make us think of summer and vacations on grey days.

If you need a refresher on the basic knots of the Brazilian bracelet, check out our technical data sheet.

3 - Wire graphic polymer clay earrings

This pair of original FImo clay earrings is inspired by the 80s. We love the easy-to-make graphic motif. With a long dress, a skirt or the classic jeans and blouse combo, they'll help you face the new school year in style.
If you're new to polymer clay, this could be your first DIY project. It doesn't require any particular technique, but you'll need the right equipment.

4 - Gold-plated stainless steel necklace with pearl flowers

Do small daisy flowers in seed beads remind you of spring? And yet, flowers may well be the trend for autumn winter 2023-2024.
They bring a fresh, country feel to any piece of jewelry. This gold-plated stainless steel necklace with pearl flowers is just the understated, chic necklace you need for your return to the office.

If you'd like to learn how to weave pearl daisy flowers, or simply remember how it's done, follow our instructions.

5 - Bracelet with seed bead flowers

These little 90s-inspired bracelets with seed bead flowers have been very popular over the past few seasons. These flower bracelets are usually brought out as soon as the warm weather arrives. That's why they'll be the offbeat note in your "back to the office" look, as if to prolong the summer.
In anklets (weather permitting) or as bracelets, create the flower bracelet that suits you best by choosing the Miyuki Delica pearl colors you prefer from our wide selection.

6 - Miyuki mini diamond or daisy pearl bracelets

These bracelets with their graphic, summery look (some will see a succession of mini rhombuses, others will think of a succession of small daisy flowers) are essential for a successful back-to-school! Discreetly worn on your wrist, they prolong summer, even on grey days. The best thing is to make several and wear them in an accumulation on your wrist for a wow result!

7 - Miyuki bracelet in blue and silver peyote pair

This blue-toned woven bracelet is ideal for making your vacations last a little longer. It is made using the Peyote pair needle-bead weaving technique. The seed beads are arranged in staggered rows to create a pretty, graphic pattern. An easy weaving technique, even for beginners, that doesn't require a loom.

8 - Macramé hanging rope for plants or flowerpots

And what about decorating? Back-to-school is a time to shake up the daily routine and extend the vacations. Macramé plant hangers are ideal for bringing a touch of nature and bohemia into your home, without taking up too much space. An original way to bring plants into your home and display your green plants. You'll be able to face the start of the new school year with peace of mind (especially if you're telecommuting) in this cocooning, wellness space you've created.

Back to school means back to basics. Forget the extravagance of summer jewelry and return to classic basics and sure values. The gold-plated stainless steel bracelet is durable and long-lasting.

You can also wear it as an anklet or necklace, with the T clasp as a pendant.
