Hi it's aardvark! Here's a great project to make a beautiful piece of jewellery from a pre-loved circuit board. If you have trouble parting with an old electronic device this is a great way to keep a memory of it.

Step 1: Materials:

You will need:

2 silver jump rings
2 silver shepherd earring hooks
2 earring backings
a black marker (not permanent)
a beautiful PCB
tin snips
sandpaper or Dremel tool
superglue (optional)

Note: Do all cutting and sanding in an open area with appropriate protective equipment. This is because your lungs may be exposed to carbon dust.

Step 2: Marking

With a marker, mark four rectangles of the same size.( I have used permanent marker to help you see my outlines.) There are four rectangles so that you can choose the best two.

Step 3: Cut

Cut the circuit board with tin snips along the lines you have drawn.

Step 4: Sand

Sand the pieces on sandpaper or with a Dremel tool. Be careful not to breathe in the dust as it is harmful to your lungs.

Step 5: Compile

My board came with plenty of holes, but if yours didn't you will need to drill a small hole in the top of your board for the jump ring to go through. Slide a jump ring into the hole. Attach your earring hook to the jump ring.

Step 6: Display

This is a great way to upcycle all those PCB's you have lying around and make a fun gift for someone.
