Second Hand Saints Bottle Cap Jewelry

by

Bottle cap earingsRuby the resourceress from Second Hand Saints turns trash into art, designing each piece of jewelry with personality and fun.

A resourceress can apparently kick ass in a pretty pink dress but this one also creates wonderful bottle cap jewelry. She gets her bottle caps from bars, delis and pizza joints.

I have seen jewelry made from beer bottle caps but never dressed up quite as nice as these ones. Sparkles, beads and foil add pizazz to pieces of trash.

Besides the fact that Second Hand Saints recycle, they also work for social change and help support artists, women, disabled people and those recovering from addictions and abuse.

I had such fun browsing their junk mall and here’s a few of my favorite finds but check it out yourself. They have buttons, zipper pulls, belts and magnets if you don’t want any jewelry.

Second Hand Saints do custom orders if there’s a certain image you want on the bottle caps that’s not available. I adore this pirate girl bracelet and think it would look good as an anklet but I’m weird.

Pirate Bracelet

Recycled Choker How about a choker/bootlet? This particular choker was created recycling foil from left over chocolate wrappers. It’s a very colorful festive effect.

 

The belts are awesome and if you really want to make bottle cap belta statement try a belly dancing belt or a jingle belt made with junk jewels (recycled foil).

Ruby is a wonderful writer with a great sense of humor so even if you don’t buy anything, it’s worth visiting her site for the smiles she brings.
