And whilst I was at the store I realised how amazing some of the stuff there was and how fun it would be to turn some of the finds into jewellery. You can choose whatever you want as long as it is in budget from a thrift store. You can buy a piece of jewellery and take it apart, or a piece of clothing for the buttons or fibres, or something else. Just use your imagination.
So here's my blog hop challenge.
Thrift Store Blog Hop
- Sign up for the Blog hop here leaving your name and your blog website address
- Go to the thrift store/charity shop and buy an item for less that £1 ($1.50 approx at at the moment)
- Take a photo of the item when you get home
- Take an "in progress" photo
- Take a photo when you have finished making your item
- And blog about it on Saturday August 4th.

ReplyDeleteI'm in. I love checking out my local thrift stores for finds :)
ReplyDeleteI have a charity shop right behind my place. Never went there, but this will be a good reason.
ReplyDeleteCount me in!
Oh I have to do this. This is my Thing! Thanks for the invite!
ReplyDeleteOoops almost forgot (actually did forget) http://stringingfool.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteOh yes, just found the perfect thing for $1.99 Canadian so I thought ok I'll use half, BUT then discovered I had a 30% off card - score!!

ReplyDeleteIs it ok to blog at each stage (once when we get the item, in progress, and the last time for the reveal)? Or should we blog once with the three photos?
Thanks!
Ooh, I want to join! How fun :)

ReplyDeleteA blog at each stage is fine if you would like to, but it would be nice to have a link to each of the stages in your final blog so everyone can see your progress with the item you bought :)

I'm in. I go to flea markets and garage sales often. Last weekend I found a lampwork pendant on a sterling silver chain for $3.00. If I don't find anything else in the next couple of weeks I will use just the pendant.
ReplyDeleteHey now girls, don't have a party without me !

ReplyDeleteHi, I'd love to join in - I'm new to blogging and well I'm not really sure how to find my blog address *cringes in embarassment* ... thankfully not so new to jewellery making though lol =)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to join in this blog hop. I just went treasure hunting with my best thrifting mate and found a ton of pieces to deconstruct that were all $1 each.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to everyone taking part! :)
