Waste-Free Wednesday
Waste-Free Wednesday
It’s Waste-Free Wednesday again…and today I’m issuing a crafter’s challenge.
To be honest, I’m not really very talented when it comes to crafts. But my kids are, so I make sure to keep them stocked with craft supplies that come directly from our recycling bin. Every so often, I set out a few recyclables, like an empty milk jug, a piece of cardboard, and an egg carton, and I just sit back to watch what my kids come up with.
When they need a little inspiration, I check out sites like Resourceful Schools or Recycle Works for ideas. When I want to get crafty, I look for fun, off-the-wall ideas, like a recycled denim rug or a handbag crocheted with VHS tape.
So what is your favorite recycled craft idea? Jot down the details in the comments, or feel free to post a picture over at the Green Parents forum. Don’t forget to check out these awesome waste-free links from around the green blog-o-sphere. And please feel free to add your own link in the Mr. Linky box at the bottom.
