I had a sushi take-out box that had a beautiful pattern on it. I tried to grow moss in it. I can't seem to get that right. So I decided it needed to be something else. I cut off the walls and used my iron (& oven) to flatten it. The oven shrunk it and made it a bit thicker, too. (Which I needed!) Then I used my xacto knife to cut out the guitar picks. I filed the edges smooth to finish them off.
I gave the first one to Travis. While I made more, he played his bass guitar for me. :)
I apologize for the dark shot!
I ended up making 2 of them into a pair of earrings. And I kept 2 for me to play with. (pictured) I did have more than those, but I already started giving them away before I remembered to take a picture! LOL

Those are fantastic and such a great way to recycle something :)
I love this super cool idea:)
Um, I want one. No really, I do. Tell Travis to give 'em up. I'm playing bass at even this month, and I need some super smokin' sushi picks to get me through the night.
Okay, fine.
But really? Those are way rad.
Thanks! :)
I'm pretty bad at not posting my little projects like this, but these made me too happy to not post about! :)
These are beautiful! I included them in a round-up of green crafts in an article today. http://www.examiner.com/green-culture-in-mankato/green-craft-round-up-story-cubes-milk-jug-storm-trooper-helmets-and-more
I hope it's okay that I used your photo in the article (with credit, of course). If not, let me know and I'll replace it.
