Have fun embellishing serving utensils! I did. All you need are some serving utensils (I bought mine at Walmart and Target) and old jewelry.
I’ve been buying old earrings at tag sales. You know the ones I’m talking about... that your grandmother wore – huge clip on earrings, some are prettier than others.
Here is some of the jewelry that I’ve bought at tag sales.





This is my grandmother’s jewelry box. I thought it fitting that the old jewelry should be in this  ornate gold colored jewelry box.



Now to show what I did with some of this jewelry. I’m going to be doing a series of 3 or 4 posts on this. I keep finding new ways to use old jewelry!! :)
Here is what I did with TWO old bracelets....
I bought this  spatula at Walmart... I was going to fix these up and give them as Valentine gifts. Well, that didn’t happen!



Here is an old bracelet I bought at a  tag sale. I took the clasps off both ends of the bracelet.









I wired the bracelet onto the handle. It was actually quite easy. I wrapped the wire around and around and tucked the ends in the front underneath the bracelet.









Then my daughter, Kristy, gave me an old jeweled bracelet which I immediately took apart to decorate these two serving spoons. I forgot to take a picture of the spoons without the jewels but this was in the first stages when I had just split the bracelet in 2 pieces and glued them onto the spoons.



After gluing the bracelets onto the large serving spoons, I glued the 2 rhinestone earrings onto the end of the spoons and wired the whole thing together.









I hope you enjoyed seeing how I decorated some serving pieces with old jewelry. This was so much FUN!!! And it was EASY! And they came out GREAT!  (Well, I’m pretty happy with the way they turned out, anyway.) And this craft didn’t cost a ton of money. The two serving spoons were $1.99 at Target and the old bracelet was 50 cents. It makes a nice gift, too.
My sister and I have always said that that is the criteria for a good craft – it has to be fun, easy, and quick but look like you spent hours making it!!  ha ha

Best wishes, my friends,
