DIY projects

Anyone got a project to share that they might have done or would like to do? Anything artistic or even handy to have?
My latest is to tile an old fire pit outer area that was thrown away. I am using small tiles that were also throw away.
Anyone have something to share?

Sure! I used to collect interesting bits of blue and white pottery to make earrings. You can nip the pieces with nippers, grind the edges, drill a small hole for the O ring, and wrap them in stained glass style copper foil tape...(thick is good, about 3/8"). Use a pencil to smooth and press the tape to the pottery. Solder along the tape with silver solder. Then you add earring wires to the O ring.

@4meAndyou Very cool! A lot like I'm learning with stained glass, except I am learning to cut glass and then follow the steps. Very pretty!

@SW-User I used to do the stained glass, also, and the bezel settings above are more difficult to make...so wrapping copper foil? Easy Peasy!

@4meAndyou Thank you for sharing! It's really nice to hear from others what they have done or are doing! :)
