Made up of an upcycled aluminum circle stamped with some of our favorite words, connected to an upcycled cured bottle bottom by wire, and completed with a locally-sourced clay bead, this product shouts the glory of 2nd stories! This ornament is the perfect holiday gift, or little joyful decoration to keep around all year. Add it as a unique piece to a gallery wall or let it stand on its own.
The Story:
Our first workshop was set in Jubilee, the area near where the city garbage was dumped. I would roam through the heaps in search of treasures. I would occasionally find these perfectly round pieces of bottle bottoms; “we can make something with that” I said to myself. And would add them to my burlap sling bag.
After gathering quite the collection i went to work designing what we could make with them. Paired with the recycled aluminum pendants, i was in love! -MK (founder)
What a beautifully made item! So pretty and original!

Beautiful and Original
The Bottle Bottom that we received was green with the word "Believe" imprinted on the metal piece. It is absolutely beautiful. Each one is slightly different making each piece original. We ordered 12 of them and are so happy we did!
