About Trashy Crafters- On a mission to redefine trash one craft at a time-
My Mom Helen and I gather the books from a lot of different places, sometimes we find them in cardboard boxes outside of library’s, in thrift stores on the clearance shelf or in the bins, and even get books, maps or sheet music donated from folks that love and support our mission. Once we gather all of the books we measure and hand cut the book pages into long narrow triangle strips and roll them one at a time onto lollipop sticks. Once they are on there we coat each bead 3-5 times depending on the thickness of the paper. Once that is done we spray them with a matte finish and then we start to make them into the finished jewelry. We purchase damaged necklaces and bracelets from the local thrift store and strip them apart to repurpose the beads. We create the jewelry with a mixture of the paper book page beads we made along with the repurposed beads. Once that is finished, we hand cut recycled cardboard bracelet holders and place the book labeling on to each set so folks know what book their bracelets were made from- Kim

This recycled bracelet set is made from damaged or outdated library or thrift store books, along with repurposed broken necklace beads. All of our bracelets are 100% recycled, and therefore are unique and one of a kind, once this set is sold it’s gone forever. We hand cut, roll, coat and spray all of our book beads we use for our jewelry in sunny San Diego California.
One lucky winner will win this Bracelet set made from The Witch who was Afraid of Witches Picture book- just in time for Halloween!

Another picture book that I would love is the another Little Golden Book; “The Tortoise and The Hare”. Sometimes if you rush to finish things…they don’t work out. And sometimes, slow and steady works just fine!!!
I’d love a Trashy Crafter Bracelet made from the “Little Golden Book”, “The Princess and The Pea”. I was so afraid of that book then (They were about 7″ by 7″ square and in vivid color…small enough for tiny hands. I didn’t like the mean ol’ grandmother!), but it is very appropriate now!!!
What picture book would I love this bracelet made out of? That’s easy….DISNEY’S “Beauty and the Beast”! The reasons are personal but would be so fitting!!!! I’d wear it proudly!!!
From “trash” (And I am NOT saying the book is trash…but what a unique idea!!! Love it!! What a way to “repurpose” into a totally unique piece of jewelry!!! This is a must have!!! Do you take orders?!? I have a book (yes, it’s Black and White…no colors, but I would look for one with colors and one that has some meaning to me. I am a survivor of domestic abuse and have a book that was given to me from a friend/counselor). I won’t go into any more than I love your work!!! What an idea! 🙂
I’d love a recycled Bracelet made from “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie”
