Silver Darlings


As they say, "One man's trash is another man's treasure."

That saying best encapsulates these bags of scrap
that I found at a flea market.

Unwanted odds & ends, wanted by me.

Here are some of the "scraps" I found inside: metal
hardware for clip-on earrings & silver-colored beads.
How lucky am I that I found a pair!

From blah, they are now Tada!
I made them into a cool set of earrings!

The silver-colored beads made a few friends with beads that I
already own. I attached these to a piece of felt and
the felt was attached to the hardware with hot glue.

Aren't they pretty?

  2. Thanks so much for your visits Blue! Re-using clip-on earrings is fun -- I think I'll make it one of my blah-to-Tada! projects in the near future :) So far, I've used clip-on earrings a shoe clips. Add it to a plain shoe (center, off center, sides, straps) and it's like you have a new pair of shoes! I'll think of other ideas and
    keep ya posted. :)
