Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

Felted Jewelry

felt_necklace.jpgLightweight and lovely describe the jewelry created by pagano designworks, who makes earrings and necklaces from recycled sweater felt. The shop’s featured earring sets are adorable sandwiches of various-colored felt, and all of the jewelry seems to be finely constructed from fine materials.

The artist is an interior designer by day but is an avid designer of jewelry. She writes on her Etsy profile:

“I love making jewelry, usually asymmetrical or chunky creations with an organic feel to them. My style often includes a mix of transparent and opaque natural stones, pearls and sterling silver. Color has always been really important to me, and takes a primary role in all I do. In my Pagano DesignWorks Studio I also create a line of recycled, felted accessories made from wool sweaters. Vintage buttons, recycled silk blouses and belts also make their way into my products. Purses, pins, shoe clips, casserole cozies; you just never know what you may find!”
