Do you know the basics of jewelry making? Are you interested
in getting more creative? How about making bracelets out of buttons? Necklaces
out of coins (pennies, dimes, quarters)? Rings from forks and spoons? Many
jewelry designers prefer ‘traditional’ styles such as
weaving beads or wire wrapping pendants. But why not think outside the box and get creative.
For your next jewelry project, grab objects that you wouldn’t
often think of using. Most likely you can find these objects around your home or
at the thrift store. Here’s a list to get you started: buttons, coins, dice,
puzzle pieces, board game pieces, dominoes, legos, keys, rocks, bottle caps, corkscrew, silverware, magnets, zippers, broken watches, broken CD's, records, camera parts, computer keyboard or typewriter keys. Then decide how you want to use these objects to create a necklace or bracelet.
