As some of you may know, I am privileged to write a monthly column for the Virginian-Pilot newspaper called “DIY Decor.”

Always vegan, of course, these projects often involve repurposing items we all have in our homes.  I don’t always post them here, as they aren’t always published by Pilotonline and, hence, there is nowhere to link to, but they did pick up THIS ONE and I think you might love it!  (Click on the link or the image to go to the story for all the details and the how-to.)

It started with a necklace that a student gave me as a “thank you” at the end of the year.  I love it, but it is bold and I will probably wear it infrequently, so it ended up as a piece of wall art that I also love for my “girl cave” (upstairs den).  And, I can still access the necklace when I have just the right place to wear it.

Enjoy!
