When my vibrating egg broke, I took it apart and tried to figure out what was wrong with it. Try as I might, I could not fix it, but I was left with several interesting parts. So, being the crazy little crafter I am, I decided to not let it go to waste!
I removed the vibrating motor from the egg using wire cutters and pliers for the tougher parts. Then I put the motor magnets aside and used some extra copper wire to make a bail that blended in with the other three coils of thin wire that surrounded the motor. There was a small metal rod jutting out from the top, so I simply wrapped some more wire around it and looped the wire to form the bail. As I was trying to figure out what to put this new pendant on, I realized that the amount of wire left over from the remote was more than enough to make a necklace. So I cut the wire to size and wrapped both ends with copper wire to make a hook clasp.
I have no idea what the hell I'm going to do with it, but it was very fun! Here is the end result:
