Fun Squares and retro modern quilting make this 

handmade freecycled wallet and eye-catcher!

It's been a while since I had a wallet to post, and to be honest I made this one last fall but I never got around to posting it. I'm not really sure what happened but when I went through my stock I found it, photographed it and now I've posted it. Next step... Someone needs to but it!

The interior has eight credit card pockets and two deep pockets for bills/checks/receipts. A simple snap closure keeps your valuables secure inside.

Upcycled Leather Cuff Bracelets

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.
