Recycled Jewelry Bracelets

You might remember me talking about Anthropologie, I was inspired by some bracelets I saw on their website and created two myself.
This one was a brassy colored bangle that I wrapped with a burlap type ribbon, made a flower like base and added old single post earrings, just had to use a wire cutter to cut off the post and used E6000 glue.








This one is an stretchy band sort of like a watch band, I used 3 partner less hoop earrings, a pin and a clip style single earring, the butterfly was an old stick pin.

  1. These are just beautiful. I love and collect junk jewelry, this is a great way to upcycle some old finds... I may give this a try myself... Thanks for the inspiration...

  3. Those are remarkable! At first I thought the photos were from Anthro - then realized that you made these gems. I rarely wear bracelets (just accentuates the chubby hands!), but I recognize artsy and unique and WONDERFUL when I see it - Kudos!
