The mistake is to think that they are objects of little value: the old ones Jewelry You don't like them anymore, you think they're unsuitable for your figure, or they're badly damaged and practically useless. What to do? Before deciding to throw them away (the best solution, if they're in good condition, is to donate them to someone in need), or even toss them in the trash, try reusing them. For example, with these creative recycling ideas we offer you.

Earrings

Do you have an old wristwatch that no longer works or has a decidedly outdated design? Recover the dial, make a small hole in the top, and thread the hook through, transforming it into a unique earring.

Frame

Recycle old costume jewelry and apply the different pieces to a photo frame with hot glue, alternating shapes, colors, and materials.

Bookmarks

Have you ever thought you could turn simple earrings into DIY bookmarks? Just attach them to a thin strip of fabric and you're done! Precious and original.

Squares

You can also display your old costume jewelry by gluing the best pieces to the center of a decorative frame. Make several of these and hang them on the wall.

Garland

Select your favorite old jewelry—even if a little damaged over time—and hot glue it to a Styrofoam crown until it's completely covered.

Pochette

Here's how to transform an old clutch into a precious handbag for special occasions: simply cover it completely with earrings, pendants, bracelets, brooches and pins.

Plant decorations

Decorate your plant pots by adding some jewels here and there. Simply attach them to the top of a wooden stick and stick it into the soil, thus embellishing the plant.

Brooches

With a simple safety pin and small pieces of jewelry, from beads to stones, you can create a charming clothing pin. To make one, get some special hooks or use thread to easily hang jewelry from the safety pin.
