Latest Upcycled bag!

Well what a creative morning! Short of nearly destroying my old sewing machine I managed to create this bag! I am really pleased with how well it turned out.

The dimensions are approx 30x20x12cm and has an internal pocket and security clip.  Everything except the thread and wadding are upcycled so a mega eco bag!!

The design was partly an existing design I had made up earlier this year, an addition of production from another pattern I had acquired and then further adapted to make the handle adjustable and the flap over the front! Really wasn't sure how it would turn out but thrilled with the result!

Now all I need to do is make a note of what I did so I can make another one! lol

Another recent make I keep meaning to share was a commission I did last week, I couldn't blog about it until the birthday girl had received it but as she has now here goes!

A pink bottle flower necklace with matching earrings.  The necklace has a little extra something however and there are little dancer charms around it! Especially for a dancer!  Sorry the pictures aren't great, I finished it late at night and had to post first thing so no time for good light! still hopefully you can get the general idea.  Here are the dancer charms close ups.

Upcycled plastic bags

This totally yummy necklace is made from upcycling plastic carrier bags! I am so thrilled with it.  The only problem I see is that coloured bags aren't that easy to come by and surly it contradicts the whole idea of recycling if you buy a product purly to get the bag!  All the same I shall appriciate this one and make the most out of the bags I have! (no one would really want an upcycled tesco carrier bag draped round their neck!!! lol I think I must do some intensive research in order to find a way to make some carrier bags more attractive!)

I have also done yet another bottle braclet! this one in grey and black is great, something which will go with anything!!!

Recycling challenge ~ task 3 ...plastic bag!

Recycling challenge!

Hi Bloggers, well here is my latest piece from my pile of recycling! a plastic bag necklace.  The petals actually feel almost leather like, very strange!

Still it is lovely and really pleased with it!

I have added a few beads to space the pieces out, I think I will need to come up with some more designs and maybe even do more shopping to get some different coloured plastic bags .... mmmm is it still recycling if i am shopping for a free bag??? and how much can I justify spending to get this bag???? oh the sacrifices I must make for my art!!!!

I shall keep you posted! this bag was from superdrug! I shall investigate more and let you all know!
