More about those re-cycled plastic jewels...


With my many, many thanks to a friend, here are some great photos of my newest craze for accessories created out of empty, recycled, plastics. They're fitting the bill on all corners - priced just right - free - satisfies my desire to lead a more eco-lifestyle - and fills my fashion needs for over sized, bright, cheerful and bold! Happy, fun and easy to make, photos from the top, are "Candy Striped Rubber Drop Earrings" strung on orange rubber bands with striped yogurt containers, the "Sunburst Charmer" this time strung on a doubled over brass chain; and below the "Kiwi Hoop Earrings" twisting a kiwi fruit basket net with cottage cheese container hoops. Click the links for the tutorials from past blogs ...
... and I hope it inspires you to hord your recycles for creative new gear.

Those are cool! Too long for my hairstyle, but of course they could be made different sizes. I like the necklace.

I couldn't help remembering my 12-year old daughter's school assignment to make something entirely out of recycled plastic bags. She and her partner ironed plastic grocery sacks together and used the resulting "fabric" to make...a bag.
