Junk Jewelry From Remnants

Junk Jewelry From Remnants

I use remnants from the jeans projects that I've done and turned them into Junk Jewelry where I've seen selling close to $100

Wonderful. Your pieces would look great with a plain black knit top, to accentuate the wonderful details, or as you show it with white fur. Jeans never go out of style.

I'll try my best to discribe how I did it. First I use 0.9mm stainless steel wire to create the 'outline' which, in this case is oval shape. I then weave the wires around the oval shape to crisscross each other. This then from the 'skeleton' for me to weave whatever I have in mind to make up this pandent. Next I would weave the bigger peices like belt loop, fabric and button onto the pandent with very fine wire.(for this piece, I choose copper wire for contrast. Then u can start adding beads that compliments the pandent. This is the first time I'm trying to post instructions. Hope its helpful. Here is another peice I did using just the zipper from the jeans and a stripe of leather. For this piece, after weaving, I use hot gun glue to secure it on the back since no wire is used to secure it.

Kate, that is fantastic! You're showing us what can be done! How about some instructions? Are you glueing or soldering? --- Coreen
