Saint Salvage

  Here's another quickie DIY. I did it in about 10 minutes during my lunch break. I had a 60s era vintage black & white enameled metal pin, as part of a bulk deal from an estate sale.       I also had this blackened chain tassel, from a necklace that I took apart for another project.   I also had some broken chain left behind from another salvaging project.   I put the pin onto the jump rings, and attached the metal tassel under the pin.   Here it is, on.... I plan to apply a clear glaze on the flower, to keep the flower enamel just "worn enough".   Saint Salvage strikes again.... for very little time and next-to-no money!

I wish I took more photos of my making this. This upcycle consists of a broken vintage silvertone chrysanthemum pin, a broken multistrand necklace and some extra freshwater pearls from broken necklaces.   I reassembled the broken multistrand bracelet into a double strand necklace. Then, I attached the small light green freshwater pearls as charms.     Then, I found some larger loose light green freshwater pearls and epoxied them to the front of the broken pin. I applied a little bit of glitter nailpolish to some of the petals.     Lastly, I wire attached the chrysanthemum pin to the chain. It took about an hour.
