Upcycled / Recycled Etsy Items under $30!
You know that we LOVE “being green” like Kermit the Frog at Ms. Modern. Here are some fabulous etsy stores that are paying it forward to Mother Earth.
2 Recycled Piano Elements Wooden Hair Stick/Ornaments from Melsville – $28
Once a part of the inner workings of a piano, this wooden stick can be used to help hold your hair up in a knot or as a clasp for a loosely woven scarf or shawl. The piano part used, originally called a “sticker”, has been reshaped, sanded, and stained. The rotating disc, also a piano part, has been decorated with patterned paper and varnished.
Blue Sky Sweater Purse by OhSewHannah – $30
Forgot your gloves? No problem. In my newest upcycled sweater purse, your hands can just cuddle up with your wallet. To create this unique design, I took a 100% wool, v-neck sweater that had been felted (shrunk from a hot water washing)and then completely reconstructed it into this new practical and cozy purse. The purse closes with a hidden square of Velcro inside the neckline.
The Jerrod Skirt from EW McCall – $30
One of a kind upcycled jean skirt. Made from pants legs, this A-line skirt is flattering on all figures. The unique striped pattern is slimming and elongates the legs. This versatile skirt can go from day to night while staying both trendy and chic. (Zipper closer, some panels made from stretch jeans) (Adapted from a pattern found in a cloth house in South Africa)
Upcycled Recycled Cassette Tape Purse from Calico Gifts – $25
This is an upcycled cassette tape purse. I have made six of them in total, you are bidding on one, but you have a choice of any of the six you like. They have an opening of 7″ long, 2 1/2″ wide and 4″ deep. If you are a light traveler, this purse is PERFECT for you. It will be a conversation piece. Men notice it, kids like it. Great as a birthday present and price includes shipping.
Goldenrod & Burgandy Floral Brooch from Zip Pinning – $25
Reuse, Reduce, Recycle and Repurpose!! Vintage zippers creatively transformed into beautiful brooches. The metal teeth highlight the colorful tapes creating a stunning affect. Goldenrod petals surround a swirled burgundy center to create this eye catching floral brooch which measures approximately 2.5 inches, 6.5 cm. The petals of this brooch are made with Unique zippers. Unique zippers are designed to be invisible when installed in a garment which makes the tooth design different from the ordinary zipper.
3-Piece Multi-Color Desk Set from Spessarite Sole – $20
I have constructed this 3pc desk set from magazines and a box that were otherwise destined for the landfill. The set contains a mail/bill/letter holder, a pen/pencil holder and a business card holder. Each item features my personal label on the back or bottom. These do not have the glossy coating on it that some of my items do. This is just the natural shine of the magazine pages.
The Empress in Red Recycled LP Ring from Tresijas – $18
Control your minions with this attention commanding ring. Classical music never looked so good. The LP is a beautiful strawberry color that glistens in the sunlight. This one will fit a size 5 and stands out just over .5 of an inch. I manipulate the vinyl while hot which only lasts about 10 seconds or so. So not only do my fingers have to be speedy, but they also have to be tolerant of a little heat. So far I’ve never seriously burned myself. *Some rings can be adjusted.
X-Ray Note Cards from Scodioli - $14
Set of six notecards, constructed from actual x-rays so each one is different and very unique. The cards shown in the photo are not necessarily the ones you will receive. Each card contains a plain white insert for writing your message. These are not adhered to the x-ray in any way (so as not to ruin the transparency)! These serve as great “get well” cards, and would make wonderful invitations. The cards come with plain white A2 envelopes. 5 3/4″ x 4 3/8″
Recycled Scrabble Tile Stitch Markers from Lark Studio – $12
Functional and beautiful. These upcycled stitch markers are the perfect jewelry for your knitting. Eight large rings are included so that you can add to these markers and use them with up to size US17 knitting needle. Eight markers total. Overall length 1″.
Upcycled Green Gift Cards Bracelet from Jupita – $10
Redeemed plastic giftcards have become an upcycled stretchy bracelet. Handcut into squares and linked together with stretchy cord. A new unique FUNky take on upcycled gift card bracelets.
Star Wars Film Upcycled Hairbows from Culture Revolution – $7
This is a Culture Revolution hair barrette made from a recycled 35mm film from the movie Star Wars Episode III. Very cute. Made from original movie film. Clip measures 2 inches – Bow measures aprox. 3.5 inches There are aprox. 12 frames of film on each bow. These frames show R2D2 and Padmé Amidala sitting in grass with Anakin Skywalker.

Since most women always keep their eyes on hot styles and designs of handbags, they became more focused on following these latest fashion trends without considering if the handbags will suit their figure. Perhaps, this is one of the most common mistakes that they make. Instead of buying the right handbag that matches their body type, they go after with its brand, styles and designs just to be in step with the hottest trend in fashion. We all know that trendy styles of handbags, most especially if these are designer handbags are very tempting to buy even though they don’t suit your figure. But this attitude is not an ideal way to make your outfit looks stand out. Keeping up on the latest fashion is not just enough to make you shine. Always remember that anything you wear must have some coordination and balance with your body. For some women who are fashion enthusiasts, choosing and matching handbags are just simple but for others who are not, it’s not just as easy. Here are some basic guide lines to help you out in choosing the best handbag for you: 1. Select the Right Size of Handbag Knowing the right size of a handbag for your body type should be the first thing to consider before buying it. This will help you find the most appropriate handbag that would look best for you. Just keep in mind that no matter how stylish and elegant a handbag that you carry, it will be unfashionable if it doesn’t set off with your figure. Most fashion experts suggest that if you’re short and petite, it’s best to choose small handbags to work well with your outfit. This is because selecting big handbags will make you look smaller. On the other hand, if you’re tall and slim, you must avoid these small bags. You can rely to use for some mid size, bulky and large handbags because these sizes will be best suit for your stature. 2. Pick out the suitable shape of Handbag Choosing the best shape of handbag for your figure is another preference before purchasing it. Always bear in mind that carrying a handbag that is proportioned with your body shape is the best way to look stylish and fashionable because it really helps to change and enhance your overall look. The best tip to achieve this is to make sure that your choice of handbag shape is the opposite of your body type. So if you’re slim and tall, you should choose rounded bag to best match your look. However, if you have a shorter physique, tall and rectangular bag is suitable for you to make you look elevated. 3. Choose Color that Complements most of your Outfit After you have selected the right size and shape of a handbag that best suit to you, it’s now time to choose for its color. Matching up the color of handbag to your outfit and shoes is an ideal way to have a fashionable style. Try to buy a colorful handbag that has dominant colors that will match most of your clothes. But to be more practical, you can also go for a plain handbag with just one color. It’s most recommended to take neutral color handbags since they are popular choice. Black is a neutral color so you can never go wrong in selecting it because it always comes in style and fashion. You can also harmonize it with any color of your outfit. Brown and white colors are also advisable to use because you can also match them with most of your clothes. 4. Set off Handbag According to Occasion And finally, it’s really important that you know what will be the purpose of a handbag. To be practical, you must put some considerations on its functions because every occasion, place and season calls for different styles and designs of handbags. Just be sure that you’re chosen handbag complements to a specific place or occasion and there’s no doubt that you’ll achieve the stylish outfit you most desire. Now that you’re familiar with some basic tips in choosing a handbag that looks well with your figure, you can now enjoy your shopping in some handbag stores and boutiques. But if you’re a time savvy customer who doesn’t have enough time in going out to mall, you can find some online shopping sites for your convenience and visit their designer handbag section for your wider selections of different sizes, shapes and styles of handbags that will make you shine above the rest. <a href=http://www.lvtop.com> Best Handbag</a>
