The heart of Second to None is really this, building a community. And it feels great when people share their repurposing ideas. This one is sent by Aparna, who converted a wine box into a jewellery organizer. The handles were made with bead buttons from a discarded dress and the hanging beads from another broken earring.

Aparna, who lives in NJ, is a student of Chitra Kala Parishat and she believes in recycling. The pair of earrings in the middle of the jewellery case (between the long green beads and red beads) are made with chiku seeds. She makes lovely earrings with dried leaves, flowers, and seeds.

Thank you Aparna for sharing, via Suman Anand!

If you have a great recycling idea, do share it with us!
