Hot pink lace and fuzzy turquoise upcycled epaulets, with green and aqua teardrop dangling beads, are made from bra pads, a scarf, faux flowers, pinecones, necklaces, and a beaded curtain. The custom-sized* silver star and glass bead necklaces that connect the embellished bra pads, fit over your head and the epaulets cup your small or medium shoulders naturally. 

The turquoise bra cups on these wearable art epaulets are textured with a shiny floral and hot pink lace. Fuzzy trim in turquoise crowns the wired edge of each bra cup with a ridiculously silly but regal air. The turquoise flower embellishments are made of synthetic fabric and pinecones painted in metallic aqua.  They have big fuchsia Mardi Gras beads or blue pompoms for centers. Green and aqua plastic teardrop beads cascade approximately 5" down the arm. The plastic star and aqua glass bead necklaces that connect the cups, is custom sized.*

A conversation starter, these whimsical epaulets are artfully designed and handmade by Asheville artist Jennifer Dehner. Except for the thread, they are made with all used materials which have been cleaned, deconstructed, and repurposed, to sparkle on your shoulders, instead of clogging up a landfill.

Wear them for festivals, holiday parties, costume parades, or anytime you need a quick, and ridiculously over-the-top transformation of character. 

No returns.

 

*For the perfect fit: measure between shoulders with a measuring tape. From inside shoulder bone across to inside bone on other. NOT outter edge! provide info in comments section upon checkout. No measuring tape? Use a string and then measure the string on a ruler.

 

Care: to fluff up the flowers use a tea kettle and steam lightly.
