My list so far includes jewelry - earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc... Also urban dream catchers made out of wheels/spokes and weaving odd bits into them, something along the lines of the below picture - but far more cleaner and sleek looking.
I'm also considering making purses and clutches out of recycled tubes, but that's dependent upon getting a working sewing machine that could handle that strength of material. I really like some of the items at Reclaimed Wreckage's Shop, like this purse.
Some more sellable items like business card holders made out of rims/chains, mirrors made out of gears/cogs, coasters and bowls made out of bicycle chains, magnets made out of bicycle cogs/gears, posssibly coffee tables made out of glass mosaic, bicycle rims for the top, and twisted/braided spokes around pieces of bicycle frames and/or handlebars for legs. I'm working on a few sketches right now as to what that would look like.
How about making photo frames? Love your ideas, some of those things could be totally sweet.
