Everyone–well, all women–have old jewelry hanging around, whether it’s jewelry that was yours or costume jewelry that was your mom’s or aunt’s or grandmother’s. Here’s what you do: You order some bracelet backs (I get mine from Fire Mountain), glue, metal snippers and, well, earrings or rings.

You clip the back off the pin or ring…


Glue the pieces onto the bracelet back and voila! A new crazy cute bracelet.

Thanks to the lovely Melody Nunez for the inspiration!
