The only thing I'd add to her instructions is the possibility of cutting the round circle into different shapes for more variety. An adult should do the cutting and the edges of cut portion should be sanded down so they are not sharp.

Upcycle to Make a Ring
Zakka Life Crafts has very simple project instructions for upcycling the plastic tab from a milk or juice container into a ring. The project is so simple even a young child can easily do this.

I like this! I'd make one for myself if I could... Too bad the containers in my country don't have that inside capping! They use a different design here.
ReplyDeleteCrocheters also use the rings to crochet around and make tiny wreaths as tree ornaments. But they also use larger rings from plastic (milk) bottles for that. Here's an example of my own: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27433928
What puzzles me though is whatever happened to the old fashioned containers that you had to cut or tear open at the corner. I think it's just another sales trick that adds nothing really useful to the product. Just more waste and waste of resources. As if the cartons themselves aren't waste enough! You can't even throw them in the paper recycling bins because of the plastic coating.
You've been awarded with Honest Scrap Award . I like your versatality and creative mind on your recycled project.

That is a sweet looking ring which could be a beautiful gift to a dear friend too.There is a deadly need for recycling and stopping the waste from going to the dump.
ReplyDeleteI adore your blog!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! A way to let other people know about your recycling activities is to snap a picture of yourself while at work. Here's the application for doing just that. http://youtu.be/qxQn-00Rr7s
ReplyDeletewhat a beatifull ring!!! :D i like it
ReplyDeleteHahaha very creative but I'm not sure I know anyone who would actually wear this ring. Are these things also thrown out by the bottle depots? I know the caps are at least.
ReplyDeleteWoah! That is pretty awesome, maybe I should try it sometime before I take things to the scrap metal recycling in Cincinnati, OH. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post. I love that you can make such great jewelry out of recycled material. I wonder if the recycling centres in Calgary do the same thing.
ReplyDeleteI love looking through a post that will make people think.

I think it's great how you can get a group of creative, easy going people together and then just take a step back and let them work. There is so much good needed to be done in the world, recycling cincinnati oh is a great start.
ReplyDeleteWhen you are a recycler, you make the environment a better place. When you recycle the world is a cleaner place and you are reusing the things that you were just going to throw away.
