We even gave you some tips on how to make them with computer keyboards! But realize recycled jewelry giving new life to cash machine e credit cards…"priceless!"

The idea came from two American sisters, Kelly and Katie, full of inventiveness and originality that have thought of giving a second life to plastic cards that take up a lot of space in our wallets or bags. On their website (www.kellybethdesigns.com), which we invite you to visit, you will find many earrings colored and fun colorful bracelets made with a truly unusual material. Designing new things with unconventional and recycled materials: this is the motto of Kelly and Katie.

We all know that the plastic waste they are considered the most dangerous with regards to global warming. Credit cards, debit cards, badges have now become an integral part of our society, but have you ever wondered what happens to them once they end up in landfills? Kelly and Katie decided to share their creativity with the world by introducing a new way of using a very common material to create objects that appeal to women, fashionable, fun but above all eco-conscious.

It all started when the two decided not to throw an expired credit card in the trash. They started cutting it and from there the first earring was born which was followed by everything else, that is a real jewelry collection with funny names like Cubz, Shredz, Dotz, Squartz.

Each piece is handmade and one of a kind. It is possible to buy the object of your desire directly online: the earrings are sold at a price ranging from 10 to 15 dollars, while for the bracelets you have to charge about 30 dollars. If you want, you can even collect your cards and send them to the two sisters' laboratory asking them to make some ad hoc jewels.

However, if you feel in the mood for do-it-yourself, you can take a cue from their creations and give space to your imagination, arming yourself with a cutter and lots of good will. At that point the customization will be total and the result of a creative recycling that knows no borders or copyright.
