I just bought a big bag of costume jewelry at the thrift store? What can i do with it?
ByI just know i can do wonderful crafts with old Costume Jewelry, but i'm having trouble finding craft books for this. Can someone please tell me what to do in the way of crafts utilizing old costume earrings and necklaces?
You could carefully take it apart and hot glue the pieces to an inexpensive lampshade or around a mirror or picture frame. I have done some of this and it turned out really great!!
What department do I contact at Disney to sell costume jewelry?

You could make belt buckles, greeting cards, key chains, picture frames. Make a little hanging decoration. Take the bracelet, and tie some string to it to hang it with. Then tie on earrings, pins, and various other things that you like. When you tie them onto the bracelet, they should hang down below it. You can do multiple layers by make the strings different lengths.

re-using them, cleaning them up and selling them, dismantling them and using the parts to make accesories….or for a scrapbook. I don't really do crafty things but I see all the time on tv that people make weird purses out of stuff…perhaps you could do that, or hot glue them to your clothes to add some uniqueness to them ……I would check about exactly how to attach them though so you don't ruin your laundry. You could hang the ones that match from curtains to add a bit of flair, or if you have a ceiling fan with a draw string attach them to that. Perhaps a picture frame could use some fake jewels or you could just hang the big jems in the middle of your window to make a sparkle and perhaps a rainbow maker in your room…you never know.

There are books on this type of crafting at Michaels and Hobby Lobby but you have to dig for them.
