I found in a little chinese store rings bases to create my own rings! I bought a little pack with ten rings    for 1 euro and a heart and a button that looks like a big diamond. I went home and with my hot glue gun glued everything together. Before that i went also to my buttons box and use some of the buttons and beads o create more rings. In the end 9 new beautiful rings. My rings box is now really full XD


here you have my plan for each ring and pieces and some of the bead and buttons i was choosing from



Were is the end result, some are a little vintage, other modern, some chic... and they were super easy and simple to make. Really cheap... each ring costs less then 50 cent.

Enjoy and make your own


My first t-shirt transformation! And i love it!
I found this old fashion t-shirt in a drawer with the tag still on, and i just cut a new neckline and sew the same fabric in the end of the sleeves. Hip, baggy and modern. Gonna use it as soon as possible :D





This is a invention i created from one of those individual table things, to put the hot pans and plates, this was made of small pieces of wood, i just cut the strings and use the pieces as i pleased. With some very good glue i just made my designs, u can see some buttons a rhinestone pice that was broken, a big bead ( the red and last one) and some pieces i bought and never used with some texture.

In materials used to do each piece i spent... 2 euros or less so i just use some long necklaces and keep my pendents on a box.



Funny, easy, simple and cheap idea for a beautiful necklace.

I got inspired from one i saw at some blog so i was with my sewing things laying around and decided to do a necklace. It is really easy!
I used a metal string to put the buttons, some chain and two metal balls to hide the lops of the strings. Use the most different color and sized buttons and try to put them randomly, some of this i bought other i just took from old clothes i din't like anymore... It really looks nice :D

Enjoy



I found this picture online and remembered i had stored somewhere some diagrams of how to carry and  pack items with pieces of fabric, so this is what i will share today ...





I came across with this kind of necklace one of these days while surfing the net, and the next time i visited a shop that sold this  kind of bobby pins i bought some to try. So that was the result of my bobby pin necklace. I only cost 60 cent and i made it smaller because i dont usually use big necklaces.

here is the link with an article about this collection where the inspiration necklace is.




Today I decided to go to my local fair, today was the day of old things like used clothes, antiques and furniture. I went there with the purpose of find things i could use to my crafts and today, things to add to my jewellery collection.

I bought four old coins, one that was made in my year of birth ( the one with hole and hearts).
I bought two old keys to use has pendents.
And three new rings with the tags still on....

The costs were:
Keys:  25 cent a piece
Rings: 1.5€ a piece
Coins: 50 cent a piece.

So.... for only 7€ i got three rings and 6 beautiful pendents. The coins have yet to get a hole, when i do it, i will show how do they look, and tell you how hard was to do it.

So i think i will keep doing things like this, reusing materials that are really cheap, and really... how has something like this?

So, lesson learnt when i want new jewellery I will go to my local fair first.

Tip of the day: When I got the coins they were really dirty and black, so the man that sold them said i could clean them with mustard, and it works!!!! So if you buy something like coins or keys like this, if you want to polish tem a bit, just do that, rub a bit of mustard with an old tooth brush and than water.
