Earrings Crafted from Paper Bag Handles

Crafty recycling is what I love to do on this blog. We can find materials everywhere and instead of chucking them in the bin, why not find a creative way to use them?

Let's take for example these paper bag handles made from cord:


I removed them from the bag and just by cutting, sewing, and dressing them up, they have new life as earrings:





Experiment with thread, findings, beads and baubles to create different looks as I've detailed in a previous post. What was "blah" is now "TADA!"


I rescued this white cord and here is how I transformed it...


I already had all the materials in my sewing and jewelry-making kit...TADA!


I hope this inspires you to make jewelry out of the most random objects. 

Happy crafting! If you'd like more "blah to TADA!" ideas delivered straight to your inbox, you may subscribe here.
