Jewelry Finds at Goodwill Online

Do you make, or have you  considered making fashion jewelry, vintage jewelry, wire wrapping or beaded jewelry projects? 
  1. Do you go to JoAnn's, Michael's or Hobby Lobby to purchase all of your supplies?
  2. Is your average yearly cost of jewelry supplies over $300? 
  3. Have you ever thought about shopping at pawn shops or thrift stores for charms, pendants, or beads?
Thrift stores are great resources for finding jewelry supplies, more than you may realize. Salvation Army, Goodwill and Volunteers of America often sell jewelry for a very reasonable and inexpensive price. Looking for a pair of matching beads, or a fun random bead assortment, or vintage charms and pendants? You can even find loose gemstones, rhinestones and pearls (if you look closely enough). Just take apart pieces of the necklace,or bracelet that you don't want and add to it. Shop Goodwill online for jewelry.
