Recycled Beauties!

I never really wore this sweater that much, but it's looking really worn anyway. It's fibers are pilling. It's kind of itchy.

As I was pondering throwing this sweater in the Goodwill pile, my head tilted to the side, my brow furrowed, and I had an idea! This sweater's 10 shiny, rhinestone, antique-like buttons are so gorgeous they're almost bridal!


There's nothing I love more than a craft project—other than a craft project that allows me to give new life to something I already own. For my next project, I think I'll borrow my sweater's lovely gems to make something to wear either on my wedding day ... or my rehearsal dinner.

I'm torn between dangly earrings and a cool hair acccessory. What do you think?
