Want to make things from my moms old jewlery - mostly clip-on earrings that are really cool looking. Any suggestions?

I know you can convert clip on to pierced earrings, you should be able to get converter backings at michaels or another craft store

Make a wreath with paper "Rosettes" & use the pins for flower centres.

Transform a pair of ho-hum pumps to a party ready pair. Clip or glue a set of earrings to the top of dress shoes.

I used mine to make a tree on felt and put it in a frame. Its not quite finished yet. I only used the ones w/old stones in them. I need to find Luke 10 more.

I take them apart and either reset them, put new hoops on them or glue them on plain sweaters/jeans.

I bought a vintage mirror. After cutting the backs off the earrings I glued the earrings on. I love it!!!

I made a family jewelry tree a couple of years ago based on one I saw in a Frontgate Christmas catalog. Here's the link: http://plumperfectandme.blogspot.com/2012/11/family-jewelry-christmas-tree.html
