Guitar Pick Jewelry

Last year, when we were in the Boston area, The Husband got himself a guitar pick punch at a local comic book shop.  He goes through guitar picks pretty fast and planned to make them out of old gift cards and expired credit cards.  Now he has quite a collection.

Fast forward a year.  I’ve been borrowing his punch to make cute guitar picks for jewelry.  Sometimes I buy gift cards specifically for their graphics, like these:  



 They were Walmart gift cards available around Easter.

Unlike The Husband, I have to make at least one hole, sometimes 2 depending on the design, so I also have a hole puncher.  It’s supposed to be for metal but so far, it’s been fine for the plastic. 


And I've also used the specialty scissors to cut unusual shapes as a background for charms.


  I love adding the beads, charms and chain to the picks to create little one of a kind treasures.  You can find them in my earrings section on Etsy  HERE

Let’s Hear It for Gift Cards!


Among the lovely Christmas presents from The Husband was a Michael’s gift card. I’ve heard that a great percentage of gift cards are never redeemed. Not a problem in this house!!

At The Day Job, I switched from a wall calendar to a desktop model for 2011 and suddenly realized I had a little piece of naked wall beside me.

This poster was a great size and, really, anything Paris would have been perfect!
