Recycled Soda Pop-top Evening Bag Crocheted by Hand, "Brazilian Waterfall"
Neide Ambrosio transforms the classic design of the flapper bag into an elegant statement of environmental consciousness. She recycles soda pop-tops in silver, yellow, green and blue - the colors of the Brazilian flag. Underscored by white threads, the bag is crocheted by hand featuring flirty round handles. The golden satin interior has an inner pocket.

"Playtime Garbage"
This is the second belt I purchased and I love both of them This s a great idea to reuse bottle tops. These belts are the perfect accessory to accent a dress, top etc. It is also a conversation starter as I have received many complements on them. A great way to add fun into your wardrobe.
