Recycled Newspaper Tassel Earrings

A little movement, a little color—and a completely unexpected material.

These distinctive tassel earrings transform recycled newspaper into playful, lightweight wearable art. Each pair is individually handmade from carefully selected sections of newspaper, which are cut, rolled and formed into tiny beads before being assembled into cascading tassels.

Choose your favorite newspaper inspiration:

• Colorful Comics – lively fragments of comic-strip artwork and color

• Expired Coupons – colorful pieces of advertising and everyday consumer culture

• Crossword Puzzles – graphic black-and-white letters, clues and puzzle fragments

• Dollar Bills – recognizable details and patterns transformed into tiny handmade beads

• UPC Bar Codes – bold black-and-white lines and numbers create a striking graphic pattern

• Luxury Jewelry Company Ads – sophisticated colors and imagery reclaimed from luxury jewelry advertisements

• Sudoku Puzzles – numbers and grids create a playful geometric design

• Stock Listings – tiny fragments of financial data and market history

• News Headline Photos – colorful photographic fragments from the news of the day

• Comics + Stock Listings – a combination of colorful comic strips and graphic black-and-white financial listings

Measuring approximately 2.2" long, the earrings have plenty of movement and visual impact while remaining wonderfully lightweight and comfortable to wear.

And because the beads are made from actual recycled newspaper, every pair is unique. Colors, words, numbers and images will naturally vary depending upon the newspaper used, making each pair a one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art.
