DIY idea: reclycled paper earrings

Rebekah’s ‘The Pretties’ Cargoh shop.

How cute are these jewels made of reclycled materials! They come from Rebekah’s ‘The Pretties’ Cargoh shop. They're very easy to do:only few pages from books or magazines are needed. Cut some strips from your pages and then slice the paper. Now roll the strips to obtain a tassel or open the fringes to make a nice flower! Glue the embellish on the base of a ring or add hooks to obtain an unconvetional pair of earrings!


Guardate che carini questi gioielli fatti di carta riciclata! Sono in vendita qui. Sono d'effetto e molto semplici da realizzare. Avrete bisogno solo di alcuni fogli di carta per realizzarli presi da un libro o da qualche rivista. Tagliatene delle striscie e poi sfrangiateli. Arrotolate e incollate poi la striscia per ottenere nappine o aprite le frangie per ottenere dei bei fiori. Infine incollate l'ornamento sulla base di un anello o attaccateci dei gancetti per realizzare gli orecchini!

Paper jewelry

Littlefly  jewelry

In these days we carry books in our usb drivers but the designer of Littlefly thought they could be carried in rings too,not for reading them though. Her jewelry is made by making holes into books and then laminating the pages and finishing all in high gloss. The piece of jewelry is then placed back into the book. I don't know if this is a tribute to literature or a subliminal suggestion to do something with books different from reading them :P
In any case her jewelry is interesting!In the end her rings don't even look like made of paper but look like natural stones!
