Costume jewelry at the thrift store

a big bag of costume jewelry at the thrift store can do wonderful crafts with old costume jewelry, but i'm having trouble finding craft books, re-using them, cleaning them up and selling them, dismantling them and using the parts to make accesories or for a scrapbook. I don't really do crafty things but I see all the time on tv that people make weird purses out of stuff. perhaps you could do that, or hot glue them to your clothes to add some uniqueness to them . I would check about exactly how to attach them though so you don't ruin your laundry. You could hang the ones that match from curtains to add a bit of flair, or if you have a ceiling fan with a draw string attach them to that. Perhaps a picture frame could use some fake jewels or you could just hang the big jems in the middle of your window to make a sparkle and perhaps a rainbow maker in your room.
