Made by artist Laura Astor from recycled coke and pepsi bottles, this wearable art is creative and inspiring. It is versatile, too, since the translucent nature of the recycled plastic gives the pieces new life depending on the colors and textures that are put behind them. Bold and bright, perfect for a taste of spring. Check out her blog for more adventures in recycled PET (Polyethylene terephthalate for the brainiacs in the room.)
$35.00 – $45.00 at Laura Astor’s Etsy Shop
