Green Crafting

I have finally put to use some of the wonderful items that I was given recently. I love making things especially when I don't need to run to Michael's or Lowe's to purchase anything. You can find something to make with just about any item you have laying around your house. I have even seen beautiful jewelry made from recycled milk jugs on ETSY. I was given boxes of sewing notions and some other craft items and so far I have come up with some pretty fun "Green" crafting.

For starters I had some vintage rick rack. I made some really cute flowers for barrettes using the rick rack as seen here:

I also have lots of fabric remnants so I made many flowers for hair clips by searing the edges, multiplying layers, and adding beads or pearls to the center as seen here:

I think I may use these for embellishments on picture frames too!

Another cool idea is scrabble tile pendants. Using old scrabble tiles, old magazines, and a few jewelry making supplies, you can make the cutest charms for necklaces or bracelets as seen here:

 This one I added a guitar pick to it for my daughter that is a musician.

I have many more ideas and will be sharing as I go but for now Happy Green Crafting!

All of my items are on sale at my Etsy shop you can see here:
