Building Foundations

The Stella & Dot Foundation is amazing. Not only are the 'Foundation Pieces' stylish and affordable they help people in need far & wide.

This year the proceeds of the bracelet or charm will help rebuild & renovate at school in the Bronx, NYC alongside their charity partner buildOn. We can help people in our own backyard so to speak- helps those in our own country in need.

The philosophies of these three charities that Stella & Dot partners with and supports are:

• Accion - committed to bringing affordable small business loans to micro entrepreneurs
• Girls Inc- inspiring all girls to be strong, smart and bold
• buildOn- breaking the cycle of poverty, illiteracy, and low expectations through service and education

Leather Bracelet Recycling Project

I saw a leather and chain bracelet on an online shopping site and thought "I can make that, and I have all the materials!"

I picked up some scrap leather at Joann Fabrics a few weeks back and have been holding onto it until I found the perfect project. I wore out a pair of leather moccasins but before I ditched them in the trash, I saved the leather ties. I had some chain scraps that I found and snaps that I bought a on sale a month ago.

I punched holes in the leather and tied the chain to the leather with the leather ties.  I added a few snaps and the outcome is a lovely bracelet reusing materials I had lying around.

Floss and Chain Bracelet

I have the habit of going into antique or consignment stores and purchasing bags of broken jewelry or plain necklaces. I never know exactly what to do with them. When an idea pops into my head, I will already have the materials. The chain I used for this project I found at an antique store for around $3.00. It had 2 clips on either end. I removed one clip and removed the extra chain I did not need. I saw this bracelet on another site and thought, I can make this! I had the perfect chain to use and plenty of embroidery floss. I braided two different color floss around one side of the chain.  My plan was to make a necklace but I ran out of floss. Instead, I now have a double wrap bracelet. I am all about wrap bracelets right now. Let me know what you think.

 

Scrap Leather Project

I recently bought a bag of scrap leather at Joann Fabrics. I decided to make a leather bracelet. The leather wasn't cut perfectly straight but I think it adds character. I used my bedazzler, that I bought from savers for $5.99, to add some gold studs. I used my Nanny's eyelet punch and vintage eyelets to add more dimension. A vintage pearl snap finished off this wrap leather bracelet.
