Creating Silver Bacon – UpCycled

I had always wanted to create using melted plastic in some kind of project. So here it is, I call it Silver Bacon.

Silver Bacon Chevron Necklace

I cut up a raspberry tray and drew stripes on it with a Silver Sharpie. When I was melting the strips over the candle flame it just reminded me of bacon.

Silver Bacon Chevron Necklace – take a closer look

The way it bent and curled while heated. The chevron portion is hand crocheted with florists paddle wire. I have one or two bead stashes (wink, wink) to choose from and chose something in a pale lilac colour to complement the silver.

Items I used to create this necklace (not shown is a candle for the melting)

I could actually see myself wearing this one.
