Hey! I'm excited that my art is getting a little bit of appreciation. Stash Tea, which is by the way absolutely the best bagged tea in the world, featured some of the art I made from their tea packets on their facebook page!

I found this at Cut Out + Keep and am absolutely in love with it! I could totally make a belt, bra, bracelet or necklace for my next performance like this!

Recycled Bottle Hearts

Here is a small tutorial on how to make plastic bottle hearts. I made a necklace I'd like to wear on Valentines Day.

  • Cut of the bottom half of a coke bottle (or a water bottle) and spray paint it pink (or any other color.)
  • I sprinkled the drying bottle with clear sprinkles for some sparkle.
  • Cut out a large square from the bottle once its dry.

  • Draw a heart and cut it out.
  • Cut lots of little ones too.

  •  Using a burn tool, or a heated needle poke a hole through the top center of each heart.
  • Take a blow dryer and heat the hearts up while holding them down with a pencil or a weight. This makes them curve out a little.
  • Grab some pink string and knot through the big heart.

  •  Make a knot at equal intervals on both sides of the yarn and slide on the little hearts.
  • Make more knots and slide on more hearts!
