Hi Julie,

My granddaughter's other grandmother made her the most beautiful butterfly to hang in her room with old costume jewelry! I'm not 100% sure exactly what she used for a background, but I know craft stores have wood shapes of all kinds - or make your own. She used a strong glue to cover the shape with costume jewelry. It is very interesting to look at it and see all of the different pieces. My granddaughter loves it! BTW, it's nice to see a local WNY'er on Hometalk! Wishing you the best!

One of my long time dreams has been to make a "treasure chest" for children to "discover" so I have been stockpiling foreign coins, treasure maps, and bits and pieces of old jewelry. It is unlikely I will ever do this because the children whom I currently have in mind to "find" this don't really have an appropriate place where I can hide it.

Make new jewellery, Cover a Box with it, Frame as work of art or Memories perhaps.
