Storybook page purses

I LOVE making these!  They are old book pages made into coin purses with wrist straps in contrasting fabrics.  The pages are encased in plastic for protection and you can see the reverse side of the page inside the purses.  I've used a thick strip of velcro so there is no chance your things will fall out of these!  

Magnets made with old children's books

ve been dying to make these and finally got around to it just before Ecofest tomorrow.  These magnets are made with old damaged Golden books and other kids' books.  They have a really strong rare earth magnet on the back and they are made with glass tiles 4.5cm in diameter.  They all come with a gift tin lined with some of the page from the same book.  A unique and cute gift!  These are only $8.95 and will soon be in my online shop.

recycled denim bag

This bag was made using the leg of a preloved pair of jeans, then I used some Japanese print fabrics to do the bird.  I love music notes fabric so used this for the leaves and the vine and legs are hand stitched with embroidery thread. 

a Poky Little Puppy bag

I've been dying to make this bag and finally got around to it. So it's made from pages from an old copy of 'The Poky Little Puppy' Golden book and covered inside and out with PVC. I put some orange and white polka dot fabric with it for the handles and an insert which sits in the base and added a cute badge and glued on some coloured buttons. It has a velcro closure so your things won't fall out. Now I'm off to start on the next one....

Altas and Storybook wallets

These wallets are made from old atlas and children's storybook pages. Both sides are covered in PVC and close with a velcro strip so your coins won't fall out. The smaller ones are also great for your phone or ipod. A unique recycled product that is great for a gift and only $12.50 at the Pod Collective Market Place shop.

Recycled cards

I designed these cards using old atlas pages, Shakespeare textbooks, a French book about music and some offcuts of Japanese Dragonfly Yuzen paper. The cards are made from recycled wheat and rice paper.

Bags made from recycled jeans

I love making these bags. They are made from the legs of preloved jeans, the bigger the size the better!! The insides are lined with designer fabrics and all have an inside pocket with applique. Don't throw out your old jeans, make a bag... Just about any old clothes can be used to make a bag and it's a great way to recycle something with sentimental value too, instead of throwing it out.

Beautiful Browns

This necklace is in brown tones with the hand made beads being an old 70s Sussans advertisement.
