Do you have any old jewelry that is a little blah? Sure, it has emotional value and it's pretty- but you do ever wonder if it could be better? One of my favorite ways to up-cycle jewelry is to add some of my favorite yarn to my bling :) It works great on old bracelets, chunky necklaces, leather jewelry, and anything you can think of! I have a few old leather anklets that I haven't worn in awhile, as well as an old bangle and a ring. I used a few different types of yarn and knots to wrap my jewelry to give it new life! The Ring: For this ring, I used some of our lace weight ombre yarn! https://www.darngoodyarn.com/collections/all/products/ombre-recycled-silk-yarn The Bangle: To add a little color and texture to my old bangle, I used our Sari Ribbon Yarn. https://www.darngoodyarn.com/products/sari-silk-ribbon-43-yard-per-100g The Leather Ankle/Wrist Cuffs: These cuffs have always been a favorite of mine, but the yarn that I added to them just made me love them more! They feel great and I love being able to wear my favorite yarns all the time! I upcycled two of my anklets, one with our worsted weight yarn and another with our sparkle lace weight yarn. https://www.darngoodyarn.com/products/silk-yarn-worsted-weight?variant=31063450714225https://www.darngoodyarn.com/collections/all/products/lace-weight-silk-yarn?variant=869997445126 If you want to give your jewelry some new life while also incorporating your love of fiber arts or your love of sustainable products and sourcing - adding some of our yarn is the perfect way to do that! :) Happy crafting!! -Kate
