Chokers

A few people had mentioned that they think the necklaces I made might make good chokers.  I will definitely consider that.  Until I get started on making some (in the process of another VERY exciting project), here is a picture to show you what they may look like as chokers.  I thought I had more pictures of this, but apparently not.  Still, I agree they could be cute as chokers.

Any thoughts???

Crafty Saturday GIVEAWAY!

GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED


Make sure you scroll all the way down to the bottom!  One nice surprise down there!

Today we had Brandon over.  This crazy guy and Aaron played a few video games while I crafted.  He also went to the store with us to go grocery shopping.  That was fun.  We got fresh pineapple for $1.99.  We bought two!  OH MY GOODNESS!!! WAY TASTY!!! Fresh pineapple may very well be my favorite fruit.  YUM YUM YUM!!!

End of randomness that has nothing to do with this post.

Ok, back to what this was supposed to be about.

I made the following 4 necklaces a while ago.  I like them very much.  I also very much enjoy making these necklaces.

Again, all of these are made from recycled tees and have a vintage button.

 

Pink and gray rosettes on white braided chain.

 Turquoise rosettes on yellow braided chain.

 Gray, Turquoise, and Kelly Green rosettes on white braided chain.

 Pink Rosette on yellow necklace for little girl. 

 

These are some earrings I made a while ago as well. 

White buttons with turquoise ruffles. 

 This barrette I assembled today but the pieces were done weeks ago.

 

Large vintage buttons and red ruffles barrette.

 Then there are these necklaces from today.

 GIVEAWAY!!!

Now, for the exciting part for me.  I would love to giveaway one of these items to anyone who leaves a comment with which item you like the best.  I will close the giveaway on Monday May 16th.   (You'll have a few extra days because my hubby graduates this weekend from Grad School, in VA, about 9 hours away!)I would also appreciate any constructive criticism.  I'm really starting to think about doing an Etsy shop. Thank you in advance for your advice! 

Hope you had a great weekend!

New Necklaces. . .

PLEASE BE HONEST. . . I'm not sure if I like either of these.  But, I had gotten the idea while I had the collar of an old cut up sweater lying around.  Both are made almost entirely of re-purposed material (the thread isn't re-purposed).

Without further ado:

Ignore the girl in the photo.  This is the mustard cream and gray sweater necklace.

The main part is mustard and yellow re-purposed sweaters.  The gray part is a recycled t-shirt.

Just a close up.

Re-purposed t-shirt necklace

 Entirely made of t-shirts.
