Got a project you don’t like anymore? Here’s one way you can take a piece apart so you can re-use the materials!

I have made many pieces of jewellery over the years. Some work out great… others not so much! So when I’ve got a piece that didn’t really work, or that I don’t like anymore, I take it apart and re-use the materials in other designs. This video shows you how to take apart a beaded chain design so that you can re-use the components and beads again! Please note that this tutorial video contains affiliate links.

The only tools you really need to take apart your old jewellery pieces are pliers and a pot to put the beads in so they don’t roll away!
