Recycling Fun

I had some recycling fun this week and also gained a lot of new jewellery. I already posted some earring made of plastic bags and rubbish bags. The earrings on the first photo were made out of the beads that were hanging on the beaded flower brooch (second photo). They're very easy to make.

The second pair of earrings are made out of paper clips and pins with their pointy bit cut out. Those were glued together and made into earrings. The third pair of earrings were made out of the beads of a cheap bracelet that I never worn and some used stamps. I stuck the stamps back to back and the cut them into random pieces and punched out some holes. Then added some rings and added them to the beads to make the earrings.

Fashion Show 09

The Fashion Show was held on 31st April. Unfortunately my hubby wasn't with me on that day as our son had flu and he had to stay in. I also had flu but took so much vitamins and was so excited and frightened at the same time that on that day I didn't felt anything. But the next day spent the day in bed. I worked so much on the dresses that I presented. I didn't made mine out of fabric, instead I made mine out of recycled items like newspapers and rubbish and plastic bags. The newspaper one was a wedding dress and it was worn by my lovely friend, you will see the front detail of the dress on the first photo. I also

made the tiara for her (but not out of recycled material). I also made matching earring and necklaces for the other 3 models. On the last 2 photos there are the rubbish bag earrings and the plastic bags earrings with some beads. The guests were really impressed with my works. And there were a lot of nice compliments especially for the wedding dress which took me a lot of time to make as the back is covered with newspaper "frills". I even ended up on TV twice, one of them was to interview me!!! On TV the bride also had a bouquet which had some of the flowers made with newspaper.
