The other day, I was going through a box of small keepsakes when I realized I've never worn a single pin I've ever been given. (Oops.) My favorite one is my grandmother's old butterfly pin that's too fragile to wear. Then I had a duh moment when I remembered I had no ornaments for my mini tree. :) You can finds all sorts of ways to re-purpose costume jewelry. Pins are very easy to tweak. You only need a bit of ribbon and some fabric glue.

I have a mini-tree, and I've used old Christmas earrings to decorate it. I use pearl lights on my kitchen tree, and when they burn out (they're white) I paint them with red nail polish and hang them on the mini-tree.
Somewhere, I acquired a bunch of tiny teddy bears, about 1/2 inch tall, so I added hangers to them and use them, too.
Cool, Jodi! Thank you so much for sharing those creative tips. The teddy bears sound super cute. :)
You're welcome! Sorry I'm just now seeing this. My family jokes that if I like something, I either frame it or hang it on the Christmas tree.
