WearYourMusic.org : GIVEAWAY!
I love rock n’ roll. It has the ability to energize and inspire me and it helps me get through even the worst days. It is an American institution; a celebration of youth, freedom and rebellion. And it sounds good when it’s really, really loud.
That’s why I was stoked when I got an email from the folks at WearYourMusic.org, a righteous company that makes bracelets out of used guitar strings and sells them for charity.
That’s right. You can get a bracelet made out of the used guitar strings of Ani DiFranco, Eric Clapton, Avril Lavigne, Roger Waters or Elvis Costello (to name just a few). The New York based group collects the strings that would otherwise be thrown out, adds 100% recycled silver clasps and packages them in used DVD boxes. Proceeds from the sale go to the artists’ favorite charities: Unicef, Make-a-Wish, Rock the Vote and others.
Prices start at $75.00 and go up. If you’re tight on your budget but still love the concept, you can pick up one of the regular guitar string fashion bracelets that start at $9.99 and come in a wide range of colors. A portion of the proceeds of these bracelets go toward non-profit organizations that support music.
The generous folks at WearYourMusic.org have offered to give away one of the fashion guitar string braclets to one of my lucky readers! To enter for the random drawing, simply go to their site and come back here to leave a comment about your favorite artist or bracelet on the site. [CLICK HERE]
Entries will be accepted until midnight, July 22, 2009 (CST). Winner will be chosen using Random.org. The winner may choose their favorite color among the fashion bracelets as their prize.
Rock on, my friends!
Me! ME! I never win anything and these are way too cool
Too cool!! I may have to get Pete Sansone or Richard Thompson for my husband.
I would really love a John Mayer bracelet I’d love to have a part of him with me always.
I love these bracelets! Amazing idea!
AWESOME!! Some of my favorite jewelry pieces to wear!! Love Derek Trucks, Jorma,Toby Keith, Michael Falzarano of course!!!
Roger Waters!!!! :faint
Impossible to narrow it down to one artist, so here is my list (in no particular order):
Pete Townsend
Les Paul
Carrie Underwood
Dolly Parton
Toby Keith
Willie Nelson
This is a fabulous idea – but these bracelets start at $200 +…the average Joe cannot really afford that! The fashion bracelets are awesome and affordable!!!
Keep on Rockin’!!
I have to say, I really really like Anna Nalick. GREAT voice that girl has! Although the Part Purple bracelet speaks to me, color wise!
It’s a tough one between Jack Johnson (whose go to 1% for the planet) or Joan Jett (whose go to PETA)
Now if they ever got Dexter Holland from The Offspring, that would be one I’d buy in a heartbeat! =)
<3 rockin’ my punk pink and party purple!
I love the idea of having fashion, music, charity,& recycling all in one! What an awesome idea. My absolute favorite artist on their site is JOHN MAYER! I love love his music & am glad he donates his guitar strings to such a great cause.
I LOVE these bracelets! I think they are absoultely gorgeous and the cause that they represent is amazing.
I would love an Avril Lavigne bracelet, or even a red, black, silver or red fashion bracelet!
OMG – how will i decide?? Keith Richards, Jack Black, Lisa Loeb, Slash! oh my!

Les Paul has been such an iconic figure in the music industry that I would love to have a bracelet made from one of his guitar strings.
As for my favorite color, I really like the look of the Simply Silver bracelet.
I just love the G Love bracelet…thanks!
Omfg Elvis Costello makes me want to run away with him (even though he’s old enough to be my dad). Although, he’s notorious for breaking guitar strings, so I’m betting there are a lot of his bracelets floating around!
Totally agree!
