Recycled Wrapping Paper:
We love this idea. Danielle’s Place of Crafts and Activities shows you how to make beautiful beads from strips of wrapping paper.
Recycled Egg Cartons:
Don’t just toss your egg cartons, make these lovely Egg Carton tulips and cute little bugs from Make and Takes.
Recycled Crayons:
Instead of throwing out old crayons, save them, take the paper off, and melt them down to make one large crayon. Instructions for how to do this can be found at amazingmoms.com- look for the item entitled Old to New Crayons .
Recycled Clothing Projects:
This bean bag buddy from Kaboose is the perfect way to reuse an old sock that is missing it’s mate.
Did you ever make pot holders from pieces of cloth as a child in school? We did and still remember how much fun it was. You might want to take a look at the T Shirt Weaving Project from alpha+mom which recycles old shirts.
