Recycled packaging
Here I am to show you the recycling jobs made with empty packaging of various colors, sizes and formats.
This time, I always made the finishes in the same color as the plastic. All purses, coin purses or “anything-other-thing” purses (lol) close with tie ribbons. In the following photos you can see each one of them in detail.
These days I’m really inspired! Just look at these little bags or, if you want, “anything” holder that is more “IN”.
The original version is an empty bottle destined for the trash can.
With very sharp scissors I cut the jar to the desired size and shape.
Around the opening I crocheted a little hem with black thread and then just put a thick bead for the clasp.
A coin purse
It’s the model of Sandra Simião (Ninha Crochet) (link no longer available) that I’ve done before.
I used two transparent lids (from peanut cans), a 20 cm white zip and two beads.
I crocheted with pink sedified thread.
In the photo above the coin purse is open and the bottom is closed.
Two more recycled caps, for the benefit of our sea, our dolphins, our turtles, in short… our planet 🙂
Transparent coin purse
I made another coin purse by recycling caps. This time I used two caps of pringles (yum yum… they are really good chips – lol).
Purses
This time yes, I made Sandra Simião’s purse (Ninha Croche) and it was as you can see in the photo below. I made it with two chocolate spreadable cream caps.
For the crocheted part I chose 3 different colors: turquoise blue (to match the color of the caps), orange and yellow.
