Of course this is not going to single handedly solve the worlds plastic bag problem, nor are we saying it is totally sustainable
jewelery, (gold is also
used), but this jewellery does give rise to alternative and thoughtful
uses for discarded plastics.The recent backlash against plastic shopping bags in Australia has been written about here before, there are a few alternatives that have been trialled such as the potato starch bag, reusable woven bags and banning plastic bags altogether, but
using plastic bags persists, which leaves the dilemma of what to do with them.
I have a Fiddes hard wax oil that I
used on a
jewelery box that I had chalk painted and that worked pretty well (Like a varnish) I also
used the Varnish on a plaque and that was not too bad.
