A mix of reclaimed and vintage earthy looking beads were combined with a gold elephant charm for this comfortable adjustable stretch bracelet (made from recycled tights!) I love elephants because I love how they move and live in community. Elephants bring me comfort, and they've been a recurring theme throughout my work over the years.
 
After struggling to find a solution to size-inclusive bracelets with a lower environmental footprint, I finally landed on a result that I'm really proud of! I'm taking discarded clothing (items like leggings and tights) and repurposing the fabric into super comfortable stretch bracelets. From sourcing the fabrics to cutting to beading to braiding, each one of these bracelets is made completely by hand in my Midwest artist studio. These bracelets are stretchy and adjustable, and although the actual bracelet size varies depending on the material, all of them can be as small as you want (just re-knot and cut off the excess) or stretched to 12+". If you have concerns about one of the bracelets not being roomy enough, leave me a note in your order, and I'll make sure to pick one with a larger circumference. Because of the labor-intensive process of this work and the uncertainty regarding the sourcing of materials, these bracelets are made in small batches and have limited availability.
