thrift store jewelry

while thrifting with two friends this week, i came across some killer cheap jewelry for projects i had been thinking of. score!

this was the first necklace i found.

it was a little too long and i wanted to remove the yucky gold beads.

this necklace was $3.

not too much needed to be done,

 but it still looks much better.

this necklace was $2.

i wanted to turn these plain wooden beads into....

this necklace from martha stewart.

sadly it broke in the middle of the necklace.

however i fashioned it into this necklace, which i still love.
