Elizabeth Soares turns trash into luxury with beautiful vases made from old towels

The painstaking creation process begins with selecting towels that would normally be discarded. Skillfully, Elizabeth wets the towels, soaking them in liquid cement, transforming these seemingly useless pieces into vases of varying sizes and shapes. The end result is a diverse collection of pieces that resemble ceramic or porcelain, but with a unique feel and texture that only tablecloths can provide.

Elizabeth's undeniable talent not only results in beautiful pieces, but also reinforces an important message about reusing materials and reducing waste. "Each towel that is discarded has the potential to become something beautiful and functional again," says Elizabeth. "My hope is that people will see the hidden value in items that are normally thrown away."

Demand for these unique vases has been growing rapidly, with people interested in purchasing a piece that is both aesthetically pleasing and ecologically responsible. Elizabeth sells her creations both locally and through orders on the social lands, with home deliveries, thus expanding the reach of her message and her art.

As well as being used as potted plants and floral arrangements, many customers are also using these pieces as decorative elements in their own right, adding a touch of originality and environmental awareness to their spaces.

Elizabeth Soares' groundbreaking work serves as an inspiring reminder that creativity can be a powerful tool in the fight against waste. By turning old towels into stunning vases, she is redefining luxury and demonstrating that what some consider trash can actually be a valuable source of beauty and utility.

In conversation with Bravanews, Soares advances that the main objective will be to create a company where “I will be able to contribute to a better world, working on the reuse of materials, which in most cases would be discarded”.
