Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

by

If you like to make jewelry and give it as gifts or sell it at craft shows and want a fun way to display it try these fun cards made with a circle card die cut with a Crafter’s Companion Gemini Die Cutting machine.

The jewelry featured here is die cut out of recycled leather and you can see that tutorial here.

For these cards I used Crafter’s Companion Luxury Cardstock package in red and green. Each pack has 3 styles of cardstock that coordinate perfectly in glitter, mirror and matt mirror. The circle pop up card die will be available on HSN on May 9th.

To make the jewelry holder part I punched 2 tiny holes to hold the earrings on the center circle. Then I punched two slightly larger holes through both the top circle and the back card circle about a half an inch apart.

Then I ran a bit of organza ribbon through the two holes from front to back and then through the opposite holes from back to front.

Then trimmed the ends to about a half an inch.

I think I will be making lots of these to give my jewelry as gifts-one will be winging its way to my mom for Mother’s Day.
