1st project completed in the recycle4real challenge

Sweetie wrapper Bracelet!

I have made this gorgeous bracelet from sweetie wrappers and 

wire. I hope you like it!

You will find all the details on how to make it on the 

recycle4real Blog

So now it is time to announce the materials I will use for the first project in the recycle4real challenge! Sweetie Wrappers! We are all chocoholics in our house especially around Christmas. Every year I save the sumptuous coloured wrappings from all our sweeties thinking that they must come in useful for making something, only to throw them out about 6 months later as I still haven't got around to doing anything with them - WELL NOT THIS YEAR! I have decided to use them in the first project. I have an idea for a bracelet as the sweet wrappers remind me so much of the colours you get in the lovely glass beads which are so popular at the moment. So watch the recycle4real blog during the week and I will let you know how things are progressing. The finished article and instructions will be posted on Saturday (8th January) on the recycle4real blog and will also be added to the recycle4real website.
