Gangster Necklace From Plastic Trash

I've allways wanted to be a gangster. Big shiny necklace and talking trash.
Lucklily I've got a lot of trash in my workspace. I mean loads...

Can't we use that junk to funkify our appearance? Do you like to make something ridiculous?

I say hell yeah! Life is to short to be normal.

We will need:

• a broken bicycle inner tube.
• some form of pvc pipe, choose your size: the bigger, the more badass.
• some sort of cutting tool for pvc or a metal saw
• scissors

I must admit: the amount of brainpower that needs to be wielded for this project is minimal.

nonetheless: please be safe, dont put fingers where you want stuff to be cut. Same goes for using a saw. Saw into the material, not your hand. You can use a vice to make this easier.

We will cut the bicycle inner tube into long strips.

1. cut the valve off crosswise
2. cut the tube open lengthwise
3. cut a smaller strip from the resulting wide strip
4. wrap it around your hand for a nice photo (optional).

Make the beads by cutting or sawing the PVC tube to small lengths. You can vary the dimentions of course!

again, watch those fingers!

Lace the small strip through the beads you've just made. Tie a knot in the rubber strip at the lenght you think is most comfortable/ gangsterly. Cut of excess.

The most important step of all; show off your funky necklace!
