Think Pink

Over the past year I have been collecting pop tabs
 for a purse I want to make.
 It still is on my to do list, just need more tabs
However in the meantime
 I just wanted something pretty pink and shiny.
soooooooo.......

*Tickled Pink*

Some pink ribbon from my ribbon stash,
leftover vintage wooden bead from a previous project
 and of course ...pop tabs
and my new baby was born

As always..
Remember
To
Reduce
Reuse
and
Recycle

Purses, purses and more purses...

* Fleur de Rouge *




2 VHS tapes and 1 huge red Plastic bag from Sears(the one that held my pretty boots) were sacrificed to make this bag.
For the lining I re purposed a pair of capri pants that no longer fit.
The handle and drawstring were crochet with the red plarn , vhs tape and a drawstring from a leather jacket that lost it's life in a previous project.
The snap button closure came from my button collection.



All in all this baby is made from 100 % up cycled materials.


Until next time

Satisfy your Eco Chic



* Purple Moon*

Once again I combined my love for crocheting with VHS Tapes.
2 VHS tapes were sacrificed along with one DVD,
a vintage necklace was dismantled and a few beads were re purposed for the handle
 along with a sachet from a top that was used in a previous project.
The lining of course is also re purposed fabric
....and now one of my pants is missing a zipper...
because this purse just had to have one .

All in all 100 % upcycled

Stay tuned for my next project
and
remember to
 reduce ,reuse, and recycle
