Newest handbag......recycled material!

[JRLeather2]

The handle was a belt from Goodwill and the leather is from an old Lazyboy recliner I picked up on Craigslist for free....

Now THAT is crafty...very cool and you get a green star for being a good (and artistic recycler).....never ceases to amaze me how resourceful people in leather can be.

whats next on the list? a couch? lol

Nice job and recycled to boot!

Nice job!

I say like the character from a Swedish childrens book, -There are no junk, just old stuff to be used in new ways!

I've done the same thing with a bag once but no new parts and assembly, just some tooling.

Maybe I'll post some day, just to darn lazy I am.

Hope others will follow, it would be fun with a show off thread where people could show their recycled stuff.

I get a lot of really nice buckles from our local Goodwill store for a buck. then some of the belts get turned into handbag handles or parts of hair barrettes.

Hey Jeff, I like it. I do the same with belts and buckles. I buy good looking bags and put one of my skulls on them. Make'm pretty you know.

Good looking bag bro.
