The Find: upcycled keys and pin necklaces. This is just a tiny collection of old keys, a pin, and costume jewelry that I found at a few yards sales. Often I find the best old costume jewelry at yard sales and church attic sales. Thankfully, there are still people out there who hang on to their grandmother's old Naugahyde jewelry boxes filled with treasures. And, thankfully, some of those same people part with the treasures when they decide to clean house. I'm pretty selective when it comes to costume jewelry. Some of the older pieces are made so well and really withstand the test of time.
A little magic and these items are now necklaces.
