For my birthday, my mom got me a bunch of jewellery-making supplies and I have been going at it for a few days - things are pretty simple so far but it's been great to put some of my salvaged broken and mismatched jewellery to good use. I've fixed a bunch of pairs of earrings, but here's some of the new pieces I made:
 |
| Broken brooch pieces made into stud earrings |
 |
| Blue glass cabochon clip-ons with salvaged light green beads |
 |
| My favourite vintage daisy earrings were totally wrecked (they were super fragile) - so I took bits and pieces and made them into small stud earrings. |

| Remixed coral cabochons |
 |

 |
| Broken bracelet pieces, vintage leather scraps & gold Sharpie stud earrings |
 |

 |

 |
| Antique beads into earrings, on gold wire |
 |
| Vintage teardrop pearls, remixed |
 |
| Salvaged turquoise and vintage & antique gold-plated beads |
 |
| Vintage navy and gold beads from a broken necklace |
 |
| Vintage necklace and bracelet beads, pieces of vintage leather |
 |
| Vintage leather scraps and salvaged bracelet beads |
 |
| More vintage leather scraps and salvaged bracelet beads |
 |

Looking forward to attempting more difficult and complex earrings! Stay tuned!
These are all so awesome! I sincerely hope you will add some to your etsy shop. Hint Hint.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I have definitely been thinking about putting some up once I'm satisfied with the quality - maybe in a Salvaged/Remixed Vintage section?
