recyled wine cork jewellery

Post: # 204748Post organicsi »

I made jewellery from wine corks, garden twine, thin copper wire and recyled findings and beads from my box of crafty bits and pieces. I did buy the earring wires cos of hygene but I think they cost about 25p a pair. I was pretty pleased with them and think three bracelets and a pair of earrings cost less than a pound to make.
Contact me if you would like instructions or pics as the file were too big to upload! God I am rubbish at this, good job I can make earrings!

I'd love to see pics! (I'm rubbish at uploading pics here, too - can you upload to flickr and then link? I normally do that). :flower:

Very cute. Shame you have to drink all that wine to be able to get your raw materials eh? :wink: :lol:

If you are ever in the area you are all welcome to suffer for my art!! Wine starts at about 1.20 a litre over here so we could SAVE a fortune. My grumpy old man calls that 'womens logic'

I love your jewellery, what an unusual idea, and it's really effective. £1.20 a litre, gosh, that would be my partner's idea of heaven :drunken:
