Southwestern Inspired Necklace From Upcycled Beads

Here I showed you a few things I made with some beads taken from an old shirt. This is my most recent project. I started on another pair of earrings but have been so busy I haven't finished them yet.

I really love this necklace and its boho chic, southwestern appeal.

This is the shirt that that beads came from.

Upcycled Beads

My aunt gave me this old shirt of hers. I immediately knew I was going to reuse the beads that adorn it. There is still so much beads sewn on but I got tired of removing them.

 

These make great little bead caps.

These are prefect for attaching cabochons. I was been able to make this necklace with them.

So far I've also made a pair of dangles, and a pair of studs. I have enough beads to make one more pair of earrings. I love the southwestern boho feel they have. You can find them in my shop.
