This DIY sustainable jewelry project is for all of you sewing enthusiasts out there! Or maybe you love exploring your local thrift shop, garage sale, estate sale or must I say it again....Your Grandmother's attic can be the best treasure chest ever!


Today we are hunting for vintage spools of thread, buttons, snaps, fabric scraps, thimbles, etc...


Now that you've gathered all your treasures and trimmings, it's time to begin!

Gather Findings!

You'll need two headpins

String headpins through opposite sides of the button

Next, string button through the spool and add the other button to the opposite side. Align the button holes with the head pin wire and wrap one end of the wire around the other to tighten each in place.

 

 Drill a hole through the thimble and add your treasures to another piece of wire.

Arrange charms keeping in mind balance of color and weight

Wrap wire firmly to connect charms to the Necklace

 Voila! You've made a beautiful seamstress themed charm necklace!
