Recycled Art Projects : Tshirt Necklaces
The grand re-opening of the Natural Answer Wellness Center had events for the entire family. One of our demo classes was taught by Leila Cook of Binding Threads Embroidery. She specializes in recycled art projects, upscaling clothes and an assortment of ideas for how to make money from items once believed to be trash. What is Recycling? en.wikipedia.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recycling involves processing used materials (waste) into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for “conventional” waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.[1][2] Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” waste hierarchy. Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and electronics. Although similar in effect, the composting or other reuse of biodegradable waste — such as food or garden waste — is not typically considered recycling.[2] Materials to be recycled are either brought to a collection center or picked up from the curbside, then sorted, cleaned, and reprocessed into new materials bound for manufacturing.

I had no idea it was so easy to make the necklaces she wears and sells at the Natural Wellness Center Answers. I admire them from afar – but now that I have seen this, there is no excuse not to have at least a few new accessories a year!

Leila thanks again for sharing your creativity with us.
