Saw this thimble necklace on Pinterest and have been crazy obsessed with it ever since. Decided I needed to make one of my own.

Using a steel thimble that belonged to my grandmother this is what I came up with:




Pretty pleased with it and am thinking I need to find some pretty old thimbles so I can make more. Smiley

I think this is lovely, and I especially love the fact that you made it with your grandmother's thimble.

I just featured this project on Craftster's Facebook page. Thanks for sharing. Smiley
