Wow y'all!
I am beyond excited to share something and someone new with you today!
I love to shop and my favorite thing to shop for is jewelry! All my fellow jewelry addicts raise your hand! :)
So with that being said, I have to introduce you to Kim aka The Trashy Crafter! She is a fabulous lady who makes jewelry out of recycled books! I know what you're thinking! People can actually do that?!? Oh YES they can and Kim is wonderful at it! She uses books that are damaged and outdated and recycles them into jewelry. I just love, love, love this because it means she is saving books from being tossed and discarded and turning them into something beautiful!
Kim was actually taught how to make paper beads by her 3rd grade teacher! Kim and her mother work together to hand cut, roll and create beautiful paper book bracelets, earrings, and necklaces! I truly love this because of how unique each piece is!
I just adore the way Kim packages her jewelry! Look how cute and fun!
Ok, I can't wait any longer! Check out the AMAZING bracelet I received from Kim! I'm a HUGE Disney fan so I am in LOVE with the fact that my bracelet set is made from the book Cinderella!
I love the bright, bold colors and the uniqueness of it! I can't wait to wear it to school and show it off to my co-workers and kiddos! How amazed the students will be to hear about how it's made and how special it is! I've also been skimming her blog and it has some great ideas!
If you're loving this jewelry as much as I am, visit Kim at The Trashy Crafter on Etsy and pick out a set that fits YOU! There's Dr. Seuss sets, Harry Potter sets, sheet music sets, and even sets made out of maps! And guess what? Kim has generously given me a code that you can use this week for 15% off of your order! Simply use code TC2014 at checkout! Woo!
That's not all though! Kim has graciously agreed to giveaway a set of Recycled Book Bead Earrings! I'm so excited! The winner will receive one pair of Recycled Book Bead Earrings {and what book they are made from will be a surprise!}
Enter below for your chance to win! I wish you luck!
You may be wondering after reading through this post if Kim and her mom do CUSTOM orders. The answer is YES and they LOVE doing them! A custom order is truly YOUR story! They can make custom orders from multiple types of things as long as they're paper such as books, maps, sheet music, letters, and children's drawings! You simply send your favorite book or other special paper product to them and they create your set! How AWESOME! If you're interested in a custom order from Kim, email her at TrashyCrafter@gmail.com!
