Office supplies can be a great resource for jewelry. These great paper fasteners came from where I work. A lot of people enjoy collecting memorabilia from our company. Me included.

Brass Paper Fastener Bracelet and Ring

These were originally intended for a scrapbooking project. I stumbled on these again the other day and thought, what can I do with these. The Jewelry Challenge theme popped up in my email.

Paper Fasteners to Bracelet

What a coincidence the theme is UpCycling! I first created a simple thumb ring. It’s simple but still cool. I set out to make a bracelet. Not much else than some flat pliers was needed, to help secure the bending.

The brass was kind of springy so used a dab of glue to hold the pointed ends together. It was so quick to make too. What’s next? How can I make these into earrings.
