Bracelets Made From Aluminum Cans


Did you know that recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a 100-watt bulb fro 20 hours, a computer for 3 hours, or a TV for 2 hours according to http://www.dosomething.org/.


at five ACCESSORIES, we are using the pop top of aluminum cans to make bracelets. This is part of our fundraiser with Chicago's StreetWise. The vendors of StreetWise are collecting items off the street and making jewelry and picture frames. You can view more items under the accessory tab at http://www.fiveaccessories.com/.
