This is such a great idea and way of personalizing jewelry with a piece of an old collectible -- antique typewriters. And best of all, Beadwork Guide Paula Morgan has free step-by-step instructions on how to make this charming piece.
Old typewriters can still be found at thrift stores, etc. for a few bucks. Buy one the next time you come across a bargain and let those creative juices start flowing.
FYI: The same company that makes the Scrabble earrings, shown in this gallery, also makes typewriter key bracelets and earrings.
