by Beth Ann Brubaker Repurposing Vintage Bits and Baubles

A woman that many people con- sidered their mentor and friend passed-away suddenly a few years ago. After family and close friends sorted through her jewelry and chose what they wanted as keepsakes, there remained a pile of vintage costume jewelry that had no home. I decided to make purse charms/ keychains using the deconstructed piec- es, and since I also had her sewing kit, I made tassels out of her thread. This project can easily be duplicated from tag-sale finds. This is a basic-jewelry making project, the main skill needed is closing jump rings.
