90 DIY Jewelry Projects to Make with Founds Objects: By Found Object
So, you want to make your own jewelry to go with your handmade garments?
You've come to the right spot.
Years ago, I launched a 90-day project where I made a new piece of jewelry every day out of found objects. Folks often comment on how well my jewelry matches garments I've made. That's because I made the jewelry too.

Below is a list of 90 different jewelry tutorials I wrote for projects that are quick and simple to make using easy to find household objects. Many projects are based on key resources destined for your trash or recycling can.
The list of projects include: belts, bracelets, cuff links, earrings, necklaces, neck-rings, pendants, pins, and zipper pulls.
The
list of core found objects used include: bottle caps, bottles & jars,
box, broken chain, duct tape, game pieces, gift card, glass, hair bands,
hardware, old leather from garments, bags or scraps,
LEGO® , paper, leftover refrigerator piping, polymer clay your
kids no longer have interest in, scrap book supplies, scrap metal,
shells, steel, toys and assorted other items.
Enjoy!
