Chic Repurposed Jewel Cross DIY


What woman doesn’t like a little glitter and bling?!?  I know I do, and love to find ways to reuse & repurpose bits and pieces of vintage jewelry that are a little tattered and maybe missing a stone or two.


This cross tutorial is so easy, using relatively common items turned out to be an elegant addition to my office.




·         Wooden Cross


·         Brass Filigree


·         White Paint


·         Clear or White Glitter

·         Broken Vintage Rhinestone Earring

·         Scrapbooking jewel embellishments

·         Rosary Chain

·         Glue


First thing is to pain the cross and brass filigree white.  Once the cross is dry adorn with glitter, then attach the brass filigree.  Let those dry.  Now you can adorn with the vintage jewelry piece of your choice, I used a vintage AB Rhinestone Earring.  Now you can adorn your little cross with little scrapbook jewel embellishments, I used clear and pearl.  To hang the cross I used a bit of vintage pearl rosary chain that I used to carry in my shop.


 
As always, Happy Crafting!

Shabby Chic Flea Market Treasures

I adore Flea Markets, specially Canton First Monday and if you haven't been you need to make the trip; estate sales and re-sale shops.  When I buy, I really do fully intend to put the item up for sale, but more often than not I fall in love with the piece and it makes its way into my decor.  Before my house bursts at the seams and my hubby starts loading stuff on the curb I've got to start listing the items that I actually did buy to sell.  So here we go!

Vintage Shabby Chic Handpainted Filigree China Plate
