I like the idea of ‘blinging’ bags and jackets – thanks.

I have a friend who recently bought a massive bag of broken jewellery off eBay. She plans to use it to bling up bags, coats, jumpers etc

Thanks for the terrific answer – I love your ideas, particularly the wind chimes.

Depending on what kind of costume jewellery it is, some people make sun catchers, windchimes, boho style beaded curtains or lamp shade dangles from old necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
