This is one of the necklaces. I don't wear jewelry very much, so I decided to scrap it. The pendant will make a wonderful & unique embellishment! Top TIP For TTT: Instead of just throwing away old jewelry, break it down & use the pieces in your crafts.
I added it to this creation after removing it from its chain - Very easy work. I now have a chain that I can use for another creation.
Have you ever used jewelry on your creations? What have you recycled/upcycled lately?
