Vintage Wrap Bracelet

I love the wrap bracelets I've been seeing around the bloggy-world, I even bought the supplies several weeks ago.
When we were Marion, OH yesterday for the Popcorn Festival, I walked through a store called Curiosity. My boys loved it because they sold swords and antiques! I wish I would have taken a picture of the sword-antique mix, it was quite curious!
I bought a broken vintage rhinestone necklace for $1.50 & realized that would be the "perfect" pairing for the wrap bracelet!! I even have enough to make a second one!
I also bought a bag of vintage buttons that has holes big enough for the leather cord to fit through.
                                         I'll be making many more of these!!

Total Treasures Blog Hop

Amy at Copper Diem had the brilliant idea to take a screenshot of an Etsy treasury & use as inspiration to make a piece of jewelry.

Here's what she sent me - all the pretty colors


I really enjoyed the challenge because these are not NOT colors I'm used to using!

Here's what I came up with. I really like how they turned out & will have to start using these colors more!!




Go to these blogs to see what the other bloggers made with their screenshots!
