I love inexpensive jewelry! I typically shop at Forever21, Claire's, Kohls and Fashion Bug to get some great deals on jewelry. I will admit, I have way more jewelry than one woman should probably own so it may be more of an obsession. I have had a few instances where there have been issues with my favorite pieces. I'm going to show you some clever things you can do when you may have an issue with your favorite accessories. Just another great way to save money and up-cycle your jewelry!
First, let me introduce you to my jewelry graveyard. If I lose an earring or one breaks, I try to put the reusable pieces in here (such as backs, posts, jewels etc). I try to reuse what I can just in case another piece breaks on something else and I need to repair it or replace a piece.
This doesn't just work with broken earrings.....
This rosette came off a metal headband I loved. While I loved the piece, I wasn't really sure about the color. So I painted it!
I used the DecoArt Black Gloss Enamel paint and theDelta Air Dry PermEnamel clear gloss glaze on top. This actually worked really well on the metal!
Voila, a broken piece of headware turned into a cute painted necklace!
What are some of your favorite tips for reusing or upcycling jewelry?
