An original and precious idea to put some beautiful recycled jewels under the tree. They are the earrings and pendants made with old Christmas lights.
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himAfter Mieko's eco-jewels, made starting from the recovery of paper, we want to offer you another original and precious idea to put beautiful recycled jewels under your eco-tree. It is the earrings and pendants made with Christmas lights that no longer work. Did you think about throwing them away? But here is the right way to give new light to the Planet and to those who will receive this decidedly green gift.
Perfect for embellishing your lobes or as an ornament to your décolleté, the broken tree lights will still shine when paired with some glamorous pearls or trinkets
What you will need:
- Broken tree fairy lights
- Calipers
- Hooks
- Chain
- Pins or pegs
- If you like, some beads.
How to make earrings
- First unscrew the fairy lights and remove them from the wire. Take the pin or, if you prefer, the nail and make a hole in the plastic as shown.
- Now insert the support hook into the hole. As you can see from the first image, you can embellish it with a colored bead to add color to your jewel.
- Place the hook in the retaining hook and make sure to close tightly with the pliers. Repeat the same thing with the other earring and, if you want, decorate it as you like, perhaps by coloring the end or applying some silver rhinestones.
How to make the necklace
Making the necklace is even easier. Equip yourself with a chain and repeat operations 1 and 2 that you performed for the earrings. With the support hook inserted, insert the chain in the buttonhole and you're done.
And don't forget to make good packages with the planet, recycled by following the right advice.
