Bike Tire Earrings are made by Trillium Artisans member Julia Garretson.
This pair of earrings is made from busted bike inner tubes. The earwires are sterling silver.
The earrings are .5" wide and hang down about 1" (1.27 cm x 2.54 cm).
Ruined bike tires are free, and one tire can make about 1000 earrings. Show your appreciation of recycling and non-gas-powered transport when wearing these stylish earrings.
