Rather than spending money on a bracelet or belt, find your nearest craft store and buy some various sizes of d-rings. Use a thick piece of ribbon and sew your d-rings onto it, to make a clever and crafty belt. Use thinner pieces to make a fashionable bracelet.

You can also find lots of different charms and beads at a craft store. You can use them to make earrings and necklaces. If you have a broken earring, or a half a pair that’s missing its mate, you can bend them apart and use them to make necklaces.

You can find inexpensive earrings, rings and other jewelry in second-hand or consignment stores. Check them carefully to make sure they aren’t made sloppily, and that they don’t have obvious flaws. You can look great for less!
