Trash or treasure? if you're like me you will have a stash of best bits that you don't want to use but just sit in their little boxes never seeing the light of day....so here's some of my stash.I'm working on a class for EfemeraInk and we'll be making jewellery. See the white plastic ruler at the top of the picture? (from the £ shop)
Well with a hacksaw and a few Promarkers you can make fabulous charms for your necklace or bracelet....or to put in a configuration box. The wooden charm is just a chunk of wooden ruler with a small charm glued on...
Hang on to all your broken bits of jewellery and odd buttons and recycle them.It's amazing what you can do with junk and a bit of Diamond Glaze.
There's a few different charms in the pipeline so I'll post them when they're done... along with the finished necklace.

mmm like the chopped up ruler idea!! Might borrow it;)
those bits of trash and treasure look really good put together like that.
Much better than buying ready made.Love that spoon!
Love it. Trash/treasure it's all the same to me. Great idea to use the rulers!
Love what you've done with all your old bits and bobs - can't wait to see what else you've got up your sleeve! JulieD
Brilliant idea Effie and very now but I'm not sure I can bring myself to use those 'special' little treasures hiding at the back of the drawer!!
Fabulous, love the Pound Shop ruler charm!
That pretty button , the red, gold, green and blue one, I have one exactly the same, I cannot bring myself to use it on anything as it is so pretty lol
