Ideas for Crafts from Costume Jewelry

Do you have old costume jewelry lying around the house not being used? If so, you might be able to get some terrific crafts from costume jewelry you no longer need.

Many of the items you need to make jewelry crafts, such as beads, chains, clasps, etc., can be found on costume jewelry pieces. If you dismantle the pieces, you can use their parts for beautiful crafts.

For instance, if your costume jewelry has accessible beads, you can use them to make wine rings as a gift for a hostess or friend. Simply thread the beads along a wire tie while circling it up one of your own wine glasses for reference.

When complete, wrap the ends of the wire around pliers or the tip of a pencil. Untwist the rings from your sample glass, and you have the perfect wine glass markers to use yourself or offer as a gift.
