I found some pretty (but cheap) elastic bracelets at Target, for $5:
And decided take them apart and turn them into a wire-wrapped necklace and earring set.
A little something for myself. I’m absolutely loving it with my v-neck sweater (courtesy of Old Navy). =)

What a great idea; you couldn’t have bought the beads by themselves any cheaper. Looks great.

That’s a good idea; I wish I thought like that when I was actually inside a Target…
