Upcycled accessories are fun and easy to make. Watch and learn how to make your own chain-link headband from a busted bicycle inner tube in this week's CRAFT Video! I got this project idea from Britt McMaster, who showed us how to make a chain-link necklace from white leather over on her blog, cucumbersome.com. You can download her template for the figure-8 shape to make your own recycled chain-link accessories. You can get broken bike tubes from changing your own when they get punctured, or by asking for them at your local bike shop.

Yay steak earrings! And the headband is totally rad, too. :) I love how much it looks like leather.

That's such a great technique--thanks for bringing it to life for us! (And love the music by Collin!)

Awesome job, Becky. Nice type of project to do while you're "tubing out."
Like the new hardware, too.

So cool, Becky! I love that it looks like a big chain stitch wrapped around your head - that.rocks. Also love that the kitty made an appearance ;)
