    I have been doing this since I was a teenager this is how I started crafting jewellery. My mum and dad used to go round the charity shops when they were out and about and would always look for stuff for me to take apart and upcycle into really cool pieces. It's a a really fun way to craft jewellery and yes you would be surprised by the pieces you can create.✌️💚

    Also, I'm grooving to the music!

      Absolutly, I always heard it called harvesting beads. The original configuration of the beads might not be current but can easily be updated with new beads added in.

    I love this! That's how my love for making jewelry really started was a lady at work gifted me a bag of single earrings and bangles and necklaces. I made a wire tree with the bangle bracelet as a frame and the rest is history!

    You do the coolest stuff! I used to make bracelets about 20 years ago, then got busy raising a family. Now that we're empty nesters, I've been getting back to it, and my new favorite thing to make is earrings! Your videos help so much! I was just out and drove past a couple of stores, and I thought I need to go this week and see if there's any clearance jewelry I could take apart, then I saw this video! Keep up the beautiful work! 😍

    • @Dianelynn
      @Dianelynn Před 9 měsíci +1

      The brown with green bracelet you showed is made in Peru. The brown tube beads are usually bamboo. I know a couple from Peru who sell work like that , it is all hand crafted, generally more cottage industry in bulk.

  • @MistyAtSkeeterJones
    @MistyAtSkeeterJones Před 9 měsíci +4

    So glad I found this! I have been making similar things for myself since forever, but now I thrift jewelry for resale and in doing this I get some very nice valuable pieces in great condition, resellable as-is for huge profit -- but I also end up with tons of broken pieces, or ones that have very nice components along with broken, chipped or dead stones, or destroyed findings. This is a great way to recoup my investment and enhance profit. Thanks for the ideas.

    When my daughter came home for Christmas, she found some old jewelry. She enjoyed the beads on a bracelet, but the rest of it was beyond repair. I took the beads and some of my own to make her a beautiful new bracelet. There were also some lovely glass beads she didn’t want, so I made some lovely earrings. It’s amazing how you can recycle old jewelry and make something beautiful.

    I'm a resin artist, mainly these days. I've been making resin cabochons, etc. I sell my art at local craft fairs, and now (thanks to you) I'm thinking of learning more wire wrapping techniques for my resin creations.

    Hi Matt, enjoyed your video, always enjoy watching your jewelry recycle videos. I have tons of beads and I also like to find old and odd pieces to recycle into better designs. I can truly relate to the quote you made about how hard it is to sell your stuff, it's hard to sometimes give my stuff away but people don't mind going into places like Belk's and paying $40 and up for the same stuff. I'm working on rearranging and organizing my bead room so I can start back to making designs, would appreciate some ideas if you don't mind.

    You are super talented that I now have hearts all over my eyes! The simplest things! Your wire work is expert level for sure! Someone just gave me a bunch of antique jewelry. Although I saw a vision in recycling the jewelry, I now can take it up several notches since I was able to watch this video. I wasn't even looking for a video like this so I also thank CZcams for feeding me videos they know I will enjoy. Take care and stay creative!!

At 10:45 you placed a beautiful wire wrapping on the goldstone necklace. Why? They don't go together. I might buy the pendant for myself and the necklace for a friend but not together! Loved everything else!

    Thank you very much for this excellent idea, to offer earrings, pendants, bracelets, etc. at a price of €5.00 or €10.00, I had already recycled some old and cheap pieces that I had forgotten in my jewelry boxes. Honestly, the pieces that we make by hand and with semiprecious stones cannot be sold at those prices. Whoever buys them should value them.
