But still, every free moment I have seems to be filled with a craft of some sort. Every time I finish something I get 2 more ideas!
I just had to top the feather earrings!! This necklace is made from pieces of an old shirt. Jersey is a wonderful material. It hangs and forms to the body, so upon changing it from a t-shirt to a necklace, I did not have to fight the material.
I crocheted 3 strings together, adding wooden beads between each line. My goal was to give it an earthy feel. The feathers and the gold chain, while still on the earthy side, made it look more put together.
This is definitely a piece that I have seen before, hanging on a display for 15+ dollars. I made this for about $1. The shirt was free, I only used a small fraction of the feathers and chain, and the wooden beads were recycled from an old project.
Coming soon: DIY prom, handmade gifts, more things to do with a recycled t-shirt, and a kimono dress with matching obi.
P.S. I apologize for the poor photo quality. I have been taking these picture with a camera phone. *fingers crossed* Better photos soon!
