Start by gathering all your broken pieces of jewelry, ear rings, broaches, rings etc.
Cut or bend off the pins.
Glue a small magnet on the back of your pieces using super glue.
And voila...you have the cutest magnets ever!

I know what I am doing tomorrow! (Long time follower, first time commenter). I have some odds and ends of family heirlooms that would make for wonderful gifts. Brilliant and crafty!

Love this! I inherited a bunch of wholesale costume jewellery from my Grandmother. When I got it I had no idea what to do with all of it. Turning old jewellery into magnets is such a cute idea. I love making my own jewellery and now this is something else I can create. Thanks for the inspiration!

Where do I find, how to make this magnetic board? I saved this site. Stumbled across it and love your ideas!
