Sustainable Feather Accessories
Hair Clips. Even though feathers are natural and completely biodegradable they aren't always ethical. Some birds, like the peacock are sometimes bred just for their feathers and in some places plucked alive. Chickens/cockerel or game feathers tends to be a side...
Eco Snoods and Wrist Warmers
Magpie Recycling ends up with a load of old woollen jumpers that people either shrink in the wash or can't be bothered/ don't know how to repair. Natural wool is such a high quality material compare to acrylic yarns that are made synthetically, I can't bare putting...

Button Brooches. Do you have odd bits of broken jewellery lying in a drawer that you don't want to get rid of because of sentimental reasons? Earrings, beads, pendants, chains all are usable in this project. I had some, glass charms, buttons, bits of chain, doll shoes...
