EtsyTwitter Team Shop of the Week :: ThreePeats

Walking through a local thrift store last week, I saw a small glass case filled with an odd mix of old beads and chains, some finished pieces and some broken items that I'm sure were quite cool in their heyday. I couldn't help but think to myself, "I wonder what Suzanne at Threepeats would do with these?"

I'll tell you what she'd do with them...she'd take them apart and turn them into something new and wonderful! Just take a look around her shop and you'll see what I mean.

Her beautiful creations are made from upcycled vintage beads and chains, and even T-shirts! I'll share a few of my favorites:

Unique T Shirt Yarn, Bead and Lace Necklace (Blue and Grey) made from Recycled T Shirt Yarn, Vintage Beads and Lace, Felted Wool Beads:

Unique Statement Necklace (Chartreuse on the Loose) -

Recycled Vintage Beads and Chain in Spring Green and Teal

From her profile:

I've always collected vintage jewelry but didn't wear much of it. It was too heavy, too fragile or too tacky! One summer I decided to see if I could use some of the beads and chain from broken pieces I had to create a necklace I would actually wear...one that was long, light and versatile. When I got compliments on the necklace, I started creating them as gifts for family and friends and got more compliments. threepeats was born!
