Spiritfiredesigns from Etsy turns old keyboard keys into bold dangling neck pieces in her 'R U My Typ3?' jewelry collection.
The IT keys are taken from old bulky keyboards and glued onto a piece of felt. Colorful glass beads are hand sewn onto the fabric to decorate the spaces in between the keys and outline the boarder. To make sure that the design remains stable and the thread is not visible, another slab of felt is attached to the back. A thick black satin ribbon is used to attach the necklace and hides under your hair.
