Inspired by everyday materials, I wanted to put them to another purpose and make some jewelry.
I bought a few stones on link chains and an old notebook spiral from the school Reuse Store, as well as some hot glue, to make a simple yet bold ring. I cut one stone-link from the chain of five, cut one ring shape from the notebook spiral, and hot-glued them together into an adjustable ring.
Using four mini gold safety pins and a pair of pliers, and with the idea from this project, I bent into place a little ring. While three safety pins are actually visible in the finished product, I cut the fourth safety pin into a few little pieces to make my own jump rings (of a color that matched the rest of the ring) to connect the remaining three safety pins.
I plan to make more jewelry and continue reusing everyday materials for uses other than they were meant for.
