DIY Green Jewelry
Nothing is as satisfying as taking something you might otherwise throw out and making something fun and fashionable. Plus it's good for the environment. These two outstanding designers have taken recycling to a new level.
Anna Roebuck of Bags2Riches hand fashions wonderful jewelry from colorful plastic bags. I especially like her earrings and cuff bracelets.
Amy Ybarra Murphy has a tutorial on Craft Chi about making stylish earrings out of packaging material.
And what about those old computer and electronics parts? I've been known to raid the trash after my husband, the physicist/computer geek has thrown away various parts. I'm amassing a stash for my planned "technology" jewelry. Here’s a tutorial (not mine) on making a bracelet from an old motherboard. This would make a nice bracelet for a guy or gal.
