I’m a big DIY’er, mostly because it’s really hard to fit things that fit my strange personal style. I thrift shop a lot, and often times I’ll find things that need some work, but definately have the potential to become something unique and stylish. Here’s some pics of 3 necklaces that I have made for myself from a singular source, displayed on a nifty necklace display that I made myself also. It was super easy, I literally had EVERYTHING you needed lying around the house! Here’s the link to the tutorial :

For instance, I found a really cute pink pearl belt at the Goodwill, not really sure what I would use it for but made the purchase anyway. About a week later I ended up taking it apart and looking at my charms for inspiration. In the end, I made 3 necklaces and a bracelet (not yet pictured) from it!
The bulk of the belt was used to make this necklace
I used the remaining leftovers to make this...
As well as this one!
It’s very satisfying to find something that someone has given away because it’s useless and give it some new life.
