There are lots of places on the internet that'll teach you how to make wooden jewelry but most of them require a specific set of tools. This video tutorial (with accompanying Instructable guide) shows you a streamlined way to do it using only standard tools you're likely to have already. The only tool that most woodworkers probably don't have lying around is a ring mandrel, which you can purchase on Amazon for around$15 (and you'd need to buy one to make rings anyway).
