Heart Necklace & Earring Set
Can you believe I made this pretty heart necklace and earring set from a thrift store shirt!
This transformation was surprisingly easy to do!
Do you like shopping at thrift stores? I know it's not for everyone, but I really enjoy it! I don't usually buy anything, but I love looking around and finding odd and unusual things. I really like thinking about how I can use items in different ways and during a recent shopping trip, I found this pretty shirt. It was way too small and much too shear for me to wear, but I loved the beading on it.
I especially liked these hearts.
I bought the shirt just for the beads and I decided to make some jewelry.
The earrings were easy.
I just used some jump rings to connect the hearts to some earring wires.

Next I made the necklace. I cut different lengths of chain. . . .
. . . and attached more hearts to the chains with jump rings.
Then I attached the lengths of chain to a hoop and slid the hoop onto a necklace.
I thought about adding some beads to fancy things up a little,
but I like them just like this.

Are you a thrift store shopper? What's the best thing you ever bought?

The heart necklace was inspired by several pins on my Craft - Jewelry board
including this pin.

ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful!! I always see those types of blouses at the thrift store, but they are either missing buttons or ripped...now I can make something out of them!! I love it!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic idea Bonnie. I'm going to look at the embellishments on all our clothes a little differently now. Adding this one to the Valentine's Day round up.
