I don't know about you, but I have a ton of broken jewelry. Mostly because I buy everything very cheap, but I will also admit to being careless and clumsy sometimes, sue me! Whenever I break something that is too cute to let go of, I put it in a bag and just let it collect over time. Most of the time I can use the broken cute stuff for other projects and in this case, it worked to fix other jewelry. I only had to buy ONE thing and even then it was worth it because it was a dollar.
Here's a look at the first ring I needed to fix. These two are the same rings, but in different colors. I wanted to show you the not broken one (left) so you can compare it to the broken one (right). If you take a closer look, the ring to the left is missing the bottom flower.
My mom bought me this cute necklace from Aeropostale years ago. I later broke it after only wearing it twice, but thought that the little charms were too cute to toss.
I noticed that one of the flowers fit perfectly into the slot where the ring was missing a flower, so I decided to use it. The little white flower belonged to the necklace, but since it fit, I glued it with a glue gun and now I have a new ring! Here's what it looks like:
This next flower was also off that same necklace, I liked it so much I decided it would make a cute statement ring.
All I did for this one was go out to Hobby Lobby and in their jewelry section, I bought this little ring. It was a flat front that is used to glue beads on it. I decided to glue the flower right on top.
And this is what the ring looks like on my hand. :)
Moral of the story: Don't throw away your cute, broken jewelry!!! You never know what you can make out of it.
