Wear a penny

Laurase makes jewelry from old Finnish coins. Markka (FIM) used to be our currency before we got euros. Seeing something like this just feel so nostalgic to me as seeing pennies just makes me think of taking bottles to recycling as a kid and then using the money to buy candy. For those of you who don´t know this, in Finland (and other Scandinavian countries) one has to pay a small extra fee when we buy bottled drinks. We get the money back when we return the bottles to recycling. I think it´s a great system since in Finland our glass and plastic bottles recycling is close to 99% of all the bottless purchased. I don´t know if you guys have the same system in your country.. I hope you do. Anyways, I love these penny-jewelry. Jacket buttons made from pennies would be supercool...

DIY idea - Dip-dye knits

Old "a bit too colorful" secondhand knits (cotton or wool) could look pretty rad after some DIY dip-dye... If you decide you want to dip dye something remember to think beforehand what colours combine well (base colors effect the final result). For example yellow+green or blue+red=purple will work well and look good. Trying to get yellow and blue will be extremely hard as the yellow/blue underneath will make the dye result green. The best effect is having one lighter shade of a colour on the base knit evolving into a darker shade on the dye. You can test the result colormix with aquarell-watercolors for example on paper.

Zippers Hurricane by Anni Jürgenson

The one thing that I love about zippers is that it is such a versatile material. It´s like oil paints, anyone working with them will paint a different looking painting. Here´s yet another technique and an amazing new zipper crafing talent. Introducing Style Hurricane aka Estonian Anni Jürgenson. Anni first started her own collection of handmade accessories at the age of 13(!). Anni’s hand-crafted jewelry takes simple motifs, like zippers, studs beads and works them with leather in beautiful abstract forms. She sells them locally in her town in Estonia, and has a Etsy shop called HurricaneBoutique. She´s truly an idol for all you teenagers out there thingking weather to start making your own crafts or not.. Anni´s blog went immediately to my BlogLovin reader since I want to keep a close eye on this young talent! Can´t wait to see what this girl will be creating by the time she hits 25.








Jennine from The Coveted bought these amazing zipper pieces.

Recycling Awareness Ribbons

Here´s a video tutorial from Swiss designer, Mayari, for making your own Recycling Awareness Ribbons from aluminum cans. I feel that recycling and trashion deserve their own ribbons, but making them from something that could be recycled otherwise is not the right way. Maybe from only bottles or cans that are not recycleble. What do you think? If I´d do my own trashion-ribbon it would be made of coffee packages (my least favorite material), leather, denim, chains or ..zippers (my fav material)!! This would make a cool addition to everyone who buys my handmade goods, an OutsaPop Trashion RRR ribbon made from zips. It´s decided. How would your RRR ribbon look like?
