So reach out the craftsman inside you and make these cool accessories for yourself or gift them to friends.
Another amazing fact about this list is that, they all are made from things, you would have never imagined to use in jewelry making.
Have a look:
All you have to do is collect few bobby pins, paint them as you wish. Use a nail polish to paint and pin them somewhere so that they stay still while you are painting them.
Then put two strips of metal wire and twist them around each other. Take your pins off, and slip them on to the wire. Shape your wire and attach the hook. Wrap them once again around to ensure the lock. Cut off the extra wire.Your danglers are ready.
2. The Washer Necklace
Use the nail polish to color the washers with the color of your choice. Let them dry. Attach the washers with the jump rings in a pattern and then to the chain. The necklace is ready.
You can also wear this necklace with the other side out to have a different color.
3. The Safety Pin JewelryYou can also wear this necklace with the other side out to have a different color.
Open one of the safety pins, and thread beads onto the open prong, leaving enough space to refasten the pin. Repeat the process until all of the safety pins have been beaded. Glue the pin so that it wouldn't open when you're wearing it. Then, cut two 12" pieces of elastic cord.
Thread one of the cords through the hole in the top of a safety pin, then through a spacer bead, and then through the hole in the bottom of another safety pin. Continue to thread in this manner until your bracelet is of the desired length. Then, take the second cord and thread it through the bottom of the bracelet, adding a spacer bead between each safety pin. Finally, tie the ends of the bracelet together, and it's ready to wear! You can also try the safety pin necklace in the same way.4. The T-shirt Bracelet
Take an old t-shirt. Now lay it flat on a counter or table, and cut long strips, about 1" wide. Once the strips are ready, take each one and pull from end to end. This will make the fabric to roll, creating a nice texture for braiding.
Use the discarded t-shirt to tie together at the top, and then tape to your counter or table for braiding. Once you have all three, time to bust out the electrical tape. Tape around each end of the braid, and bring the ends together.5. The Button Pendant
You will need a plastic canvas and some nice looking buttons. Position the buttons one by one on the canvas and move it slightly until you've lined up the holes in the button with the holes in the canvas.
Take about an arm's-length piece of wire. Thread one end through the first set of holes, passing through the button and the canvas. Pull the wire through until there's about a 6" tail of wire sticking out from the back of the canvas. Tie the button to the canvas with the wire. Attach all the buttons to the canvas. Cut off the extra wires or the extra canvas. Connect your pendant to a chain with a jump ring.6. Bracelet from a Belt
This is the easiest one of all. Neatly cut an old belt into a length which wraps around your wrist. Make holes in it using a nail and a hammer. Buckle it around your wrist just the way you did around your waist.
7. Hair Pin DIY
Open a bobby pin with pliers. Place your object on the bumpy side of the pin, it could be a little fake flowers or shapes made with wire itself. Wrap the wire as snugly as possible around and around the pin, until the fold of the pin comes. Cut off the excess wire now, and use your pliers to make sure any extra parts of the wire are tucked in tightly. Use the pliers to close the bobby pin.
