I thought I might do a post on something I've upcycled recently. I went to my local op shop (thrift store I think in the US) and found a set of napkin rings which were made of metal for a very good price. I've then turned them into more modern napkin rings using polymer clay and finishing them off with varnish. Here's a few pics:

Hi! Thanks, yes I saw that. This is the only thing I've upcycled so far so thought I'd put it here.

Those are gorgeous. I never got a hang of the clay thing. I wish I did though.

Thanks! I'm glad you like them. Claying is great fun once you get the hang of it.
