Fashion is one of the many ways people can show how much they care for the environment, which is why many blogs about sustainable fashion are being put up, with the goal of teaching you how to look fashionable without harming the Earth. This includes wearing clothes made of organic and renewable fiber like bamboo, buying pre-loved clothes and accessories from thrift shops, using recycled materials to make fashionable items.
Those who like the boho jewelries are also jumping into the green bandwagon by using different types of recycled material in making accessories. These are some of examples of the things that you can save from the dumpster and turn into a thing of beauty:
Newspaper Beads- Making necklaces and bracelets made from recycled paper is pretty easy. All you need are glue, some used paper, and some acrylic paint. Just blend all the ingredients together and form them into beads of your desired shape—whether rectangular or circular—and let it dry. Varnish can be applied to harden the beads. Afterwards, string the beads together to create a necklace or bracelet.
Recycled Fabric Cuffs- Your denim jeans in size 24 from ten years ago do not necessarily have to go to the trash bin. To turn this material into cool accessories, just cut a strip from the jeans in the measurement of your wrist. Line the edges of the bracelet and then add in snap-ons. To decorate, you may sew beads on it in whatever pattern you like.
Plastic Bottle Bangle- Plastics, like diamonds, last forever. Plastics never decompose in our landfills, and as a result, they only pile up. So instead of throwing away that water bottle, why not cut a portion of it into a bangle? When you have a ring of plastic, take out a ball of yarn and start wrapping it around the bracelet. You may use different colors of yarn, depending on your preference.
Working on these do-it-yourself boho jewelries make one a true-blue boho. After all, what is the real spirit of being bohemian if not being creative and artistic?
