Trash to Treasure: My new weakness

So about a week ago, I found this tutorial/t2t idea, and I had to try it.

This is from PapernStitch and I thought it was the cutest necklace ever! So I had to go and make one myself, of course. I don't have a pic or I'd put it up. But I found some gold paint I already had, bought little plastic sea turtles from Dollar Tree, and gold chain and screw hook/eye things in the tool section at Walmart. So by the time I got done, the whole thing cost about $1.50, but it's something I'll actually wear, and it can be totally customized, because you can do anything with some paint and an empty chain!

Thanks PapernStitch for a great tutorial! It made me smile, and I like stuff that makes me smile. :] Hopefully next write, I'll share some pics of some amazing craft studios! I wish I had my own!!!!
