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.

Easy way to transform every day items into charms and pendants
This is a great way to make easy and fun charms and pendants that uses recycled items. I can totally see expanding this technique using bottle caps, pop tabs and broken jewelry to give it a new life.

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.
