Nowadays, the topic of recycling is increasingly present in all sectors. The world of fashion is also becoming more and more involved in green and sustainability issues. But it's not just about clothes anymore. Many different brands offer jewellery made from recycled paper.
SUSTAINABLE JEWELLERY: REUSE AND RECYCLE
Jewellery made from recycled paper is a new trend at the moment: it is both beautiful and environmentally friendly. We are talking about bracelets, earrings, rings, and necklaces, but not only. Recycled paper beads can be used to create beautiful bracelets and fashionable necklaces. These jewellery pieces are not only easy to buy but can also be made at home, saving all those newspapers and magazines that would otherwise be thrown away. Let's see how to make them.
DIY
Making paper jewellery, as well as being a fun way to pass the time, can also be a way to recycle newspapers, magazines, cardboard boxes, and other pieces of coloured paper, without having to waste them unnecessarily. The easiest way to make jewellery is to start by making paper beads.
There are several techniques for making paper crafts, such as the quilling technique, also known as paper filigree, which is used to make more refined and elegant paper jewellery. It consists of rolling up strips of coloured paper to make any kind of jewellery. An original and delicate way to create beautiful jewellery.
Another original way to make jewellery is to use the origami technique. You can make not only jewellery (with stiffer paper), but also geometric figures to decorate small corners of your home.
To make any kind of jewellery with paper, simply cut the paper into small squares and glue and roll them around a toothpick to create a hole in the bead. Once the small squares are dry, pull the beads off the toothpick and thread or thread a strong ribbon through them to create a necklace or bracelet.
You can now colour the beads with colours, glitter, and other decorations to make your jewellery unique.
What are you waiting for? Recycling paper can be fun, and what better way than creating unique jewellery out of recycled paper?
