I made earrings from my grandmother’s old necklace and gave it to my cousin Anna. :)

DIY Tassel Earrings | Green Eyed Monster
Quite possibly the easiest earrings you will ever make, these tassle earrings are super swingy and I’m loving the neon orange/gold combo (both of which seem to be all over the fashion blogs at the moment). You can also try wrapping them at intervals too or hanging the tassles from a pair of earrings you already have. The possibilities!

some jewelry that I found of my nana’s. not the wedding ring. (well, my engagement ring actually was my nana’s as well)
I found my nana’s old broken watch, so I turned it into a necklace. :)
// recyclables//
we babysat my best friend’s kitten for the weekend, so naturally she helped (and hindered) all my crafting. apparently everything that had a string (which was all) deserved to be attacked. you should see my legs.
fleur de lis necklace i made from recycled jewelry. they were earrings.
another trinket i found in my mom’s stuff. im not sure if they were key chains or earrings that lost all its assembly or what. but i re-beaded some ends and turned them into earrings.
and of course when i’m finished, she passes out. hmph.
// the husband’s leather wrap bracelet//
this one is so easy, like the nomadic wrap bracelet .
if you have some leather cord, twine, thick string, hell - yarn. whatever, just wrap it a few times, leave yourself some slack and put on a clasp. on this one, i looped the end around and attached a stone bead on the other end by sewing.
nice. i need a gate.
my sweet charm that was my mothers. I slapped it on some diamond necklace.
i am a professional goodwill shopper and reuser/recycler. a glass of chardonnay and a hot glue gun are my weapons of choice.
