Check out this DIY necklace made from scrap sheets of cork!<\/h3>\n

The right statement necklace can add such a pop to your outfit, but store-bought pieces are not so great from an environmental standpoint. They’re often made from plastic and other non-renewable resources. The necklaces often come from far-off factories, where workers put them together under some questionable conditions. That back story really takes the cute out of that bird necklace at Target, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n

Of course, this doesn’t mean you can’t have a cute necklace to add some pizazz to your going out outfit! It just means you get to flex your DIY muscles and make your own!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crafter Jessica Fediw shares an awesome tutorial for making your own statement silhouette necklace out of cork. She had part of a roll left over from making a bulletin board, and you can find rolls of cork at most craft stores. Cork is a renewable resource, and cork trees grow back quickly, so you can feel good about your cork necklace’s environmental impact!<\/p>\n

Here’s what Jessica says you need to create your own cork necklace, along with some notes from us on how to make this project even greener:<\/p>\n
