By purchasing these earrings you are helping to divert plastic waste from the landfill. A portion of the proceeds will go towards planting one tree.
These earrings are handmade using shredded plastic bottle caps and stainless steel hooks.
Pieces of plastic bottles caps (that have been collected from my local community, cleaned and shredded) are carefully placed and melted down. They are then covered with a UV resin.
Handle earrings with care and avoid moisture (remove before showering, swimming or exercising), perfume, hairspray and other chemicals. Clean earring post and backing before use.

Creator/Maker
In 2019, while teaching my two young boys about 3D printing, I decided to try to figure out a way to utilize plastic waste to create new products instead of creating more waste. Fed by my passion for the environment and a strong desire to leave behind a better place for my kids, I began a two year long journey of research and building unique plastic processing machines. Perseverance, determination and collaboration led me to where I am today; up-cycling locally collected plastic bottle caps into beautiful, reusable items such as earrings. Not only did my own desires fuel my mission, but the willingness and efforts of the Flagstaff Community to donate their caps inspired me to continue with my pursuits. It is my hope that the products I create not only contribute to a better world through recycling but also bring lasting joy and spread awareness through the story they create.
If you have an earring design and style in mind, I am accepting custom orders! Just reach out to me with the details of what you would like.
