Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

Emiko and Shana of “Accessorize With Toys” at Maker Faire

by

Emiko and Shana have hit upon a great idea! They host workshops called “Accessorize with Toys” where they bring all sorts of recycled toys and everything you need to make jewelry and small sculptures to parties and eco-events.

Check out their program here and their blog here. as well as Emiko’s website and Shana’s Web site. Both packed full of beautiful designs! I would also like to share one of their great sources for recycled stuff-it’s called SCRAP -Scrounger’s Center for Reusable Art Parts. Thanks for a super fun time! I made a bracelet from Legos and computer keys. It makes me giggle because one object is from my childhood and the other is part of my everyday life now.
