Earth Day is coming up April 22.... so to celebrate I thought I'd recap some favorite projects of mine that feature recycled items. I love coming up with creative ways to use "trash". So how to I define "trash"? It's either stuff that I would normally throw away, or things that need a new look. Making something useful out of both are forms of recycling, right?!
Thought it be fun to do a guessing game, so here it goes:
Click on the picture to see the link (most have tutorials)
What can you make out of your empty laundry detergent boxes?
What can you make out of a toilet paper roll?
What can you make from old, ugly canvases?
What about a t-shirt with a grease stain?
What can you do with all those plastic bags?
What can you make out of a Pizza Box?
What about old sponges and paper grocery bags?
Happy Earth Day!!!




















I love every idea, especially the laundry box and pumpkin. Going to use the laundry boxes to store all those fabric scraps.

I love this post - bringing so many great ideas together. I think I may have to start buying Tide - I can see those boxes holding art magazines or hand-painted papers. And I've been planning on bleaching & overpainting a dress - this gives me even more ideas.
