I made a pin with teabag folding (package) and a button. You only have to fold your teabags envelopes to make the medallion and then put some water resistant varnish and use a nice button to decorate.
I make beads out of junk mail and make friendship bracelets with them and they are easy to do! Use only the shinny paper that comes in the mail and cut or tear it in strips approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch by 2-3 inches. You will also need a toothpick and glue.

Recycled jewelry can make great accessories for personal use or gift giving. The one-of-a-kind creations you make will become treasured works of art.
