Upcycling Tutorial Series - recycle and reuse with @anutu - Part 0 - Preparation

Dear Steemians Good Morning!

Hope you all will have a beautiful day coming up!

As promised I am into the final work of preparation for my Upcycling Tutorial Series at Steemit, which will shortly start. I just could not wait to show you what I have planned!!!

I thought it might be a cool idea to explain what is needed for our first project. This way you can prepare and look around for stuff you have at home to have everything needed. Might sound and look complicated, BUT it's so easy and I am sure that everybody can achieve stunning results!!!

So excited !!!!!

Upcycling Tutorial Series - Part 0 - Preparation

The first project I would like to show you step by step is a Tiny Terrarium Bracelet filled with dried moss made from a broken wrist watch and an old surfer bracelet.

The bracelet that I have made and that is shown in the first picture I have made from an old and broken watch, that belonged to my grandmother. This is a great tutorial, if you would love to reuse an item that means a lot to you. Here is something else I made from my grandmothers little treasury chest https://steemit.com/life/@anutu/grandma-s-curtain-grandma-s-love-how-i-turned-a-childhood-memory-into-unique-upcycling-jewellery

To be best prepared when we start you would need:

• a broken watch ... haha ... that was obvious
• some dried moss collected from the woods or your garden (or if you have none around from the decoration store - sometimes spots in cities have a lot of moss in corners of the pavement or at parks - I think it is always nicer to use stuff from nature, than to spend money for gifts that nature grants us)
• as an alternative to the moss you can use dried little flower petals
• an old braided surfer bracelet (if the bracelet on the watch is still nice - like my second example - you don't need a surfer bracelet)
• 2 little O-rings (mine come from a DIY store - 100 for 2$)
• OPTION: if you like to ad some beaded charms to the bracelet you need in addition: wire, some beads from a broken necklace and some more O-rings

Tools you would need:

• a little screw driver OR little nail scissors OR a little knife that is no longer sharp
• your hands

At the end of every upcycling project I would really love to see what you have created. Should you have any questions now (or later when we start) just ask, I will be happy to assist you!!!

Do you like my idea?

Have a great day and stay tuned ...
