Craftster member retro-redux made this charm bracelet using a dollar store play teaset! Clever! Those little cups are too small to drink out of, anyway!
Project Estimate:
Teaset $1
Chain, jumprings, clasp: $5 or so (but you would have more for other jewelry-making jobs)
Buttons and beads: on hand
Total Project Cost: $6 (I bet you could make a few of these for that)

I think I would wear a bracelet like this! But I think the rest of my outfit would be really simple. Or can be worn as a necklace, maybe, adding a longer chain? neat idea!
This bracelet is the cutest thing ever. NIcely done! Thanks for the great blog too!!!
