Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
Who doesn’t love getting something pretty in the mail? I sure do! My mom buys old (unused) stamps and makes kind of a collage with them so they will add up to the right amount of postage. They are fun as old stamps are quite diverse and pretty. Pop on over to the blog The Realistic Mama for this great post where there is a collection of 17 ways to address and embellish an envelope to make mail art.
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.
