Jewelry Christmas Tree Idea

It's fun to run across creative ways to repurpose things and this little Christmas tree is one of my favorite discoveries.

I saw it at one of our local thrift stores sitting next to the check out counter. At first I thought this was a print of jewelry pieces. Getting up close, they are actually earrings, pins and pendants on red velvet fabric suggesting a decorated Christmas tree.

Handmade Christmas tree made out of jewelry pieces. It was for sale for $5.

Wouldn't this be a great way to use those lonely earrings that have lost a mate or pins that are out of style but you still want to keep?

I can imagine making one with vintage jewelry from family members for a new couple's first Christmas and including best wishes for many more to come. Not so sure about those chains at the bottom, I think those are asking for trouble with cats around!
