  1. Medical jewelry, plain & fancy, part 4<\/a><\/li><\/ol><\/div>

    I’ve been a MedicAlert member since the mid-1980s, and I’ve changed my bracelets and necklaces often as time has passed and my medical conditions have changed.\u00a0 I might go out without my Amex card, but never without my \"\"<\/a>MedicAlert emblem.\u00a0 My family can’t be expected to keep track of every single condition and medication.\u00a0 Plus, if I’m out alone, the emblem gives people a way to reach my family members as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

    MedicAlert offers a wide selection of emblems and jewelry and there’s something there for just about everyone, but it’s a fact of life that their budget priced emblems are usually rather plain and their fancy emblems are usually rather expensive.\u00a0 I don’t mean this as a criticism.\u00a0 The purchase of memberships and emblems supports a fantastic organization.<\/p>\n

    But even if you’re on a budget there’s nothing that says you can’t have a fancy emblem too.\u00a0 Embellishing your own emblems is surprisingly easy.\u00a0 In the next series of posts I’ll give simplified instructions for making your everyday emblem look like party wear.<\/p>\n

    For these projects, you’ll need two small pliers, a small but sturdy wire cutter, and if you’ll be working with a stretch bracelet emblem, a small flat-blade screwdriver.\u00a0 I’ll talk about other materials you’ll need when I describe the projects.\u00a0\u00a0 If you don’t have the tools on hand already, there are a bazillion good places to get them, from your local hardware store to Harbor Freight Tools <\/a>to jewelry and craft suppliers like Fire Mountain Gems.\u00a0 Just don’t get them from the 99\u00a2 store or some other ultra cheap supplier–you don’t want to break your tools before you finish your project.<\/p>\n

    In the next series of posts I’ll go from simple to fancy.\u00a0 You can re-imagine any of these any way you want.<\/p>\n
