Vintage Elements Charm Necklace

 I love to use old items to make unique jewelry.  In other words, using ordinary objects to make extraordinary jewelry!Making this sort of jewelry takes a little planning.  You don't get a collection this varied by going to a store and picking it up one day.  You find things here and there as you go along and eventually you have a collection to choose from.What is in the Vintage Elements Charm Necklace, and where did I get them?1.  Piece of a vintage ruler - I purchased this pre-cut and pre-drilled on Etsy.2.  Tiny skeleton key - I don't actually remember where I got this key, but I pick them up everywhere I find them, such as antique stores, thrift stores, garage sales and estate sales.3.  Buttons - I collect them through yard sales, thrift stores, estate stores, etc.4.  Zipper - I purchased a bunch of them at Lancaster Creative Reuse.  To use them, I just cut the bottom of the zipper and slid the zipper pull off.5.  Crystal Bead - I bought a bunch of costume jewelry at an estate sale, and this was one of the broken pieces.  I took apart this necklace and made this dangle bead charm.6.  Clock Hand - I also purchased the clock hands at Lancaster Creative Reuse.7.  Rusty Washer - I found this in a parking lot and thought it was beautiful.  I sealed it with lacquer that is made for this purpose.8.  Chandelier Crystal - The chandelier was broken and I bought the pieces from my friend who owned the chandelier.9.  Little Metal Vintage Number - I purchased a few dozen from someone who had a large collection of these.To put this necklace together:If the element could be added to the chain with a jump ring, I used a jump ring.  Otherwise, I wire wrapped the elements.What do you have around your house that you can make into a necklace?
