Do you have costume jewelry that you never wear?  Go do an inventory of all your old pieces, earrings, brooches, and necklaces, even watches and see if you can put them to better use.  I made this statement necklace out of old jewelry, and some pieces that I bought on clearance from the craft store.  To make them look refreshed, I bought some copper-ish spray paint, and spray painted all the pieces.  If some of the items you’re using have jewels or stones, spray paint the whole thing, then quickly wipe the jewels with paper towel – that worked just fine.  Take a look at my progress, and my finished product!  DON’T make this after you have nail polished or manicured, not a good idea.  DO make some sangria and invite your girlfriends over, and have a potluck of all your old jewelry. WARNING sangria may cause the end results to vary.
