I created this fun and funky necklace using a can pull tab as a base. I adorned it with a copper spiral and red, yellow, and orange glass beads. At the bottom I dangled a handmade hammered copper sun. I found the can pull tab on a Texas hiking trail. This necklace is cheery and playful.
I incorporated the pendant into 23 inches of copper chain and a simple s-hook clasp.
Creating Trail Trash jewelry and art with discarded items is one of the ways I contribute to keeping trails clean and unspoiled. When you purchase one of these items you are helping me in my personal endeavors and I thank you!
Trail Trash jewelry takes many different forms, but usually involves items I find along trails or hiking paths - back country, rural and urban. I clean/prepare these items and use them to create unusual yet beautiful necklaces, earrings, bracelets or other works of art.
I have made every effort to eliminate sharp edges, rough areas, and any other imperfections that could cause injury of a person or clothing. It is nearly impossible to remove every bit of these defects so please take care when handing/wearing these items.
