Colorful Eco Jewelry Made from Recycled Skateboards
There are many interesting ways to recycle skateboards, but we’ve never seen them turned into hip, colorful jewelry before now. Jewelry designer Lindsay Jo Holmes turns old, worn out skateboards into earrings and bracelets that retain the colors and designs of the recycled boards.
From BTC Elements:
Lindsay Jo Holmes hand-makes these stylish earrings out of the remnants of used skateboards, collecting old and damaged boards from her local skate shop. Originally, each skateboard is made from 7 layers of pressed maple wood. By shaping the maple into jewelry she can show off the amazing colors and designs of the original board.
Says Lindsay Jo about her creations,”There’s so much that goes into making a skateboard and so much that goes into riding one. I wanted to give them a new life.”
Both the bracelets and earrings go for $24 at BTC Elements.
