Recycled Bottle Cap beads becomes trashion

My latest Trashion :

Recycled Bottle caps becomes beads for jewelry. Earrings ~Necklace~ Bracelet

So here we have bottle-cap beads that I have made and transformed into jewelry. Living in a small town has it's advantages. There is this great burger place called Crabby Bill's Burger & Fries. I have got to know the owner quite well and I asked him to save the bottle caps for me. He serves a lot of craft beers with some neat pictures on them. Please note I am not a beer drinker so having friends that serve a lot of beer is great.

Earrings Made from 4 beers~

Bracelet made from 12 Beers~

Necklace made from 2 Beers~

I know everyone has seen the others online and have wondered how they were made. I have made up a detailed pictured tutorial that I will email for a small paypal donation. You can email me for detail. bdembroidery@charter.net

Recycling Trash into Fashion TRASHION

Remember Back in the late 80's & 90's when recycling became a big part of all our lives. Many complained it took to much time, or that it left garbage laying around for a week. During the big recycling movement I was in school, and they really pushed the concept on Children so we would take it home to our parents and try to teach them a thing or two. Parents don't always like to listen or learn educational subjects from their children.

It was a struggle in my house and I often wondered if it was like that in many homes or were my parents just thick headed. All the pamphlets and paperwork that was handed to us for our parents to read would hit the trash without even being looked at. It took some time, but they did catch on and start to recycle on a regular basis.

Recycled art projects was one of my favorites things to do. I can remember my 1st recycled project was made out of a school sized milk carton. I made it into a rabbit by gluing cotton balls on it and than adding the ears, eyes and nose by using recycled paper. If I made 1 I must have made 100. I even won 1st place for designing a poster for the school for advertising recycling.

As I got older things never changed. My 1st apartment was cute & cosy, however I could not afford curtains so I made them from bedsheets and blankets. They were so cute, everyone was surprised after I told them what they were. Being Creative like that just comes to be. I am still at recycling trash into treasures, however now I own a store where I can sell my treasures.

This past week I was really craving Starburts, so off to the store we went and ended up with a bag of Starburst and Tootie Rolls. On the way home I was thinking back to a time when I used gum wrappers in the 90's and made a bracelet. After we got home I instructed the family that they could eat the sweet nuggets of sugar,but they had to remove the wrappers carefully.. It wasn't to long and I was weaving the trash into a chain. I had made a bracelet and earrings while watching T.V.

My 12 year old daughter thought that was the neatest thing. Needless to say the bracelet and earring walked right out of the living-room. She wore them to school and the children were raving about the set asking her where got them. I can see a new trend arising.

A few nights later I had enough to Toostie Rolls to start another chain. Before I knew it I had a bracelet.

Looks like I am on to something, but know I need wrappers. If you have saved candy wrappers you can bring them to our store at 1609 Washington St. Two Rivers,WI. I will gladly take them.
