From Old Jewelry to Stunning Magnets

I have a lot of old jewelry in my jewelry box: earrings that have lost a mate, rings that I feel are too young for me, and a few pieces from broken bracelets and necklaces. They are so pretty and sparkly and I hate the idea of throwing them away so I have been thinking of ways to reuse them.

I have a few magnets from a failed DIY project and I thought it would be fun to hot glue them to a few pieces of an old bracelet.

This project was super easy. The only problem was that the magnets were super strong and kept attracting the corners of the jewels(the prongs) to its center. It took a little bit of wrestling to get the magnets in the center but once it was finished I was able to add a nice sparkle to our fridge.
