Salvaging Beads From Thrift Store Finds

Salvaging Beads From Thrift Store Finds
I recently purchased a tank top sweater with beaded fringe around the bottom edge at a local thrift store for $3.75. When I got home and carefully inspected it, I noticed that two strands of the beads were missing. Being the frugal person I am, I decided to remove the beaded fringe and make jewelry from the beads to match the sweater. There were enough beads to create a necklace, bracelet and earrings, and I even had beads leftover for another project. Now I have a cute sweater with matching accessories all for about six bucks and two hours of my time.
