Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
If you happen to get a heart shaped box of chocolates this Valentine’s day (or you go out the day after Valentine’s day and buy a box for half price) here is a great way to recycle it after you have enjoyed the chocolates. I bet this would be a fun project to make one piece each day. Pop on over to the blog Idea Stand for more art therapy ideas including this art in a recycled heart chocolate box.
OK, come on! This is just beyond adorable and funny! A copper cleaning scrubby transformed into a tiny pumpkin? And since it’s copper it’s kinda elegant. Well, this adorable copper cleaning scrubbie pumpkin is just one of probably my favorite lists of recycled Thanksgiving crafts featured at the blog The Krazy Coupon Lady. And when you’re done decorating the Thanksgiving table you can bring it in the kitchen to do the dishes!
You know, this gives me an idea for something else using candy boxes! I get the Whitman’s brand box chocolates in sugar free for the hubs. I’ve kept a pile of them thinking they would be good for some sort of crafts (they look like cigar boxes). You could use each half as a shadow box display on the wall for small things. I have a collection of seashell animals that have needed a wall hung display for years and this is what I’m going to do for them now. Thanks for posting great ideas that inspire me.
