DIY Hardware Store Necklace Tutorial from Mich L. in LA here. I can see this electrical grounding bar being used to make Steampunk-like harder edged pieces.

DIY Inspiration to Use Unconventional Materials for Crafting by Mich L. in L.A. I love the weekly “Guess the Mystery Thing” Challenge on Mich L. in L.A.’s site - and the funny guesses from readers. Both Photos: Mich L. in L.A. Top Photo: DIY Plastic Horse Comb Spiked Jewelry here, Bottom Photo: DIY Castrating Band Bracelet here (mini donuts anyone?). Both items can be found at farm and feed stores (I don’t exactly live in the country, but our area has a farmers’ store, and how interesting would it be to ask for castrating bands in different colors?). * I also posted Mich L. in L.A.’s Dollar Store Baby’s Pacifier Necklace here.
