These fashionable upcycled leather bracelets are eco friendly. Made from old leather jackets, freecycled beads and recycled rhinstones from ice skating costumes.

| Upcycled leather jacket and freecycled beads |
Last night my friend sent me a picture of some leather bracelets she saw while she was vacationing in Mexico. She wanted to know if I could make some thing similar. I was immediately inspired. I have been trying to decide for months what I wanted to do with the four leather jackets that were donated to me last summer.
I cut off a sleeve and got started! I whipped up four leather wrist cuffs last night. I have a pretty good supply of freecycled and recycled beading material. I really wanted these to be as upcycled as possible.
Last year I also received a donation of rhinestones and sequined embellishments from a friend whose daughters use to be competitive figure skaters. The rhinestones are perfect for this project.
If you like these let me know. I don't have them on
Etsy yet but if you want to buy one you can always contact me directly at ashvantol@gmail.com. They cost $10 or $12 depending on the amount of time they took to make.

Love these, Ash! This type of leather product I can wrap my mind around :) I've always loved the look of leather, but I can't help feeling a twinge of guilt when I buy something. Man-made/vegan leather is my go-to... unless I can find something cool and upcycled like these!

ReplyDeleteI love these! Bracelets are my weakness. I'm interested in buying one, but first I need to figure out which one I want! I'll send you an email when I do.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love them!
