I fashioned this fun and funky necklace from the lid from a discarded "Trail Toes" anti-friction cream container that was thoroughly cleaned. I edged the lid with a string of glass seed beads of yellow, black, orange and amber to coordinate with the front of the lid. At the bottom I suspended a charm I created of copper wire in the shape of a footprint. The container was found on the Ozark Highlands Hiking Trail in Arkansas. This necklace is cheery and playful. It reminds me of the many steps I have taken while hiking.
I strung this pendant on a 22 inch ball chain that can be cut to fit.
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.
