Occasionally I miss working with my hands like I used to when I did hair or made jewelry with my sister for Elisabeth Ashlie.
I was in Michael’s the other day and walked through the jewelry section and found this pretty little package of druzy charms and tassels. I’ve been on the hunt for small tassel earrings so I grabbed two of them and thought I would just make some tassel earrings. But I didn’t want the other items to go to waste, so I found some jewelry that I haven’t worn in years and gave it a little upgrade.
All I needed was pliers (found in the jewelry section at Michael’s but you could also dig through your/your husband’s tool bag), the jewelry additions, and possibly earring hooks depending on what your plan is.
It’s easiest to open the earring hook and slide on the jewelry piece versus opening the ring on the jewelry piece itself.

This little upgrade below required no permanent changes to either piece! I just slid the druzy charm on the post of the stud earring because I put it in my ear. Simple as that!

And to add a little bit more to an otherwise delicate necklace, I simply added some pieces onto the center of two necklaces!

Jewelry: Tassel earrings were a DIY; Druzy studs, purple beaded necklace (very old from Stella and Dot), giraffe necklace (very old from J.Crew Factory, also available at J.Crew)
