And since Spring is finally approaching, what better way to celebrate it than wearing some fun, colourful jewels? Here's the video tutorial:
You can create also some keychains or embellishments to attach to a bag:
At last I've made a pair of upcycled fabric coiled earrings, and I like them a lot! I had some trouble making the tiny hole in the little spiral, I know I am too ambitiuos, sometimes :-D
Here's a short fun video about them:
If you like to learn and master this technique here's an ebook I wrote, available in my Etsy shop:

And finally I used those rusted fabric:
And here some short video process (are you hooked ;-)?):
Would you like to learn how to make these ones out of old garments, jeans, t-shirts and plastic bags? I put together an ebook with hours of instructional videos with my 'lovely' Italian accent and English mistakes everywhere :-D!
