I took some pictures of finished ”found object pins,” and on Monday I will get a friend to help me download them into computer and put them on the site.

I enjoyed reading the article but I would love to see some pictures of the finished items. Nancy thanks for your suggestions.

Reuse those old buttons and stray beads by wiring them onto a old belt buckle or suspender buckle. First wire a pin back that has some holes to the back of the buckle and make sure its securely wired. Then plan your colors. Use 20 gauge copper wire. It now comes in lots of beautiful colors. You can sometimes get jars full of old buttons or beads at flea markets. I will take some pictures of the ”recycled parts,” pins I have made and send these so you can see how beautiful they are.

I’m not that creative, I’m afraid. But these are some great tips for converting some no longer needed items into something that IS needed!

I’ll have to try the silverware bracelets, you can buy some beautiful old pieces as just about any antique store/flea market. I wonder how much more force would go into a silverware ring? They’d make a beautiful thumb ring.

I loved each and every idea here and really have piles of toothbrushes just lying about because I did not throw them to the dump…now I can start with my bracelet project….
