Dismantled Spiral Notebook Charms

by Pat Barden
(Spencertown, NY)

So, for the holidays one of the places I sell my jewelry needed wine glass charms. I said I'd make them although I didn't care for the idea of out of pocket expenses for the materials. I went about me homestead looking to see what would work rather than buying hoop earwires. I spied the spiral bound notebook on the floor--perfect.

Each one is 1 1/2 loops off the notebook spiral, the ends looped outward, I used silver-plated head pins to dangle the two swarovski crystals. Each one cost me 21 cents and I made 6 within 15 minutes. I am not including the price of the notebook because it was waiting to get dismantled anyway and tossed in the recycling.
