Cheap Chirpin Tuesday!

Cheap Chirpin #2 for May!


Cheap Chirper #2 for May is: Altered Rings!
They are in $2 shops for a reason!!!! They break easily. 
 
But one little girls broken heart over her ring that broke in two minutes is one scrapbookers ready made embellishment!
It doesn't take much effort to separate the ring from the top part. VOILA! Cute metal embellishment. You can use Stazon ink on the metal, stickles, i-rock gems, JUST ABOUT ANYTHING can help bling them up. 
PLUS the top part looks AWESOME if you stick it through the cuttlebug with some paper on top. Makes a cute embossed butterfly shape. 


The glue gun will keep it stuck to most surfaces. 


Remember to comment!

    I never come across things like this. I need to look in some stores like this. We have $ stores, but a chain store, I always am looking in thrift stores for things like this though. Very pretty page! tfs Tami
