Several weeks ago, I got to go to the first flea market of the summer. I found some great skeleton keys and watch parts that I have been working with. Earlier, I showed you the necklace I made from a vintage wristwatch case here. Here is another quick necklace that cost me less than $7. All I needed was:
-a chain, $1.25 from Hobby Lobby
-skeleton key, .50¢ at flea market
-watch movement, $4 at flea market
-glue, I had E-6000 Industrial Adhesive on had (also bought from Hobby Lobby)
-split ring or jump ring, bought a pack of 40 for $1 from Hobby Lobby
-bail(I just used a charm that had a hole in it) .14¢ from Hobby Lobby

The watch movement still had the face on it...that is the side I glued the charm to, leaving the hole on the charm just above the top of the watch movement so that I could attach the jump ring. After I attached the jump ring to the charm, I attached it to the necklace and then slid the skeleton key on the chain. Simple as that! Unique, easy, inexpensive and ALL MINE :)
That is WAY cool! I love it.
