Jewellery from junk

Today Thelma Helen and myself headed off at the early hour of 5.00 am to go car booting in search of suitable materials for our craft projects.

We managed to get one of those awful chandeliers that was covered in hundreds of beads for £3.00 and I scored a beautiful necklace and bracelet in fake pearls for £1.50

The chandelier was quickly taken apart and it literally has hundreds of greens beads in various sizes from large, medium and small teardrop shapes to various sizes of round beads.

The fake pearls were in two sizes of a plain round style.

I matched the two car boot finds together and here is the result!



The beads were joined together using split rings as I prefer not to see the thread or wire running through the beads, but admittedly it was more time consuming.

I also added these lovely sparkled beads that I bought from Eliza Beads for added effect, the bead caps were also extra from Eliza too.


The drop teardrops were attached using a simple pendant bail with the top attachment removed.



I love the clean design of this piece and the crispness of the pearls with the clear pale green stones.
Best of all you have got to love the price and the fact that I have enough to make loads more.

Now where can I get those earring finding things from .... Mmmnnn
