When I first saw these, I said, “Meh, another bangle made from straw or something by villagers in another country. That’s good, but nothing groundbreaking.”

Uhm, no.

These are plastic bags, people. The ugly, gross plastic bags I am forever trying to stop using. How awesome is that?

The artist, Stephanie Huffaker, collects the plastic from freecycle and family and friends (shame on you plastic bag users! but thanks for helping Stephanie.) She uses vintage bangles for the base. Great idea.

In black, red, pink and orange. $44.
