You’ll never see another bookmark like these! No two are ever exactly alike and the patterns are incredible.
We’ve taken inner layers that make up a PCB, laminated them and added a tassel.
PCBs are made from ‘inner layers’ – paper-thin, but very strong and flexible sheets of fiberglass-epoxy upon which are deposited intricate circuits made of copper. These inner layers are stacked and heated under pressure to produce a 3-dimensional composite and then the layers are connected by “through-holes”, some thinner than a human hair.
Discarded PCBs create environmentally unfriendly scrap. By recycling PCBs, Debby Arem Designs offers consumers the chance to help protect the environment, while at the same time, to acquire unique recycled circuit board products.
►These bookmarks make great promotional items for your business – if you provide your own label, we can add it to the inner layer before lamination.

I weave traditional rag rugs using complete recycled and repurposed wefts such as shirts, sheets, jeans, draperies, etc. People often drop off boxes of clothing that normally would go to the dump and I turn it into beautiful practical items for the home.
I even save the zippers and buttons which my daughter recycles into fun jewelry
This form of recycling is one of the oldest art forms.
I also make felted balls using 100 percent wool
