Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
After the egg hunt is over, unless you save those plastic things year after year, you’re going to have a metric ton of empty eggs left in a pile. Once the candy is out (and most likely eaten), rather than toss those plastic pieces, head on over to Instructables and follow their tutorial for making an Easter Egg Snake!
I love vintage matchbooks and their graphics, they are such a cool little bit of history. Even the concept of a matchbook is dated as there isn’t smoking in public places. So repurposing the packaging format to hold all sorts of tiny things is such a great idea. Pop on over to the blog Reading My Tea Leaves to see all sorts of things you can package in a matchbook and how to make them.
Great idea!!!
I actually recycle plastic Easter eggs by putting homemade Kool Aid-flavored lip gloss in them and selling them on Easter.
It’s very profitable and GREAT for raiser funds!
