Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
I love how modern this framed crayon initial looks! The clever crafter Carol of the blog Frugal Life Project needed teacher gifts. What’s a crafty gal to do? Think about cool things that other crafters had shared and give it a try. She posted a great tutorial here.

I’ve been working on making mushrooms out of all sorts of materials and in different sizes. I spotted these cute mushrooms made with recycled tp tubes and yarn and yes, they are going on my to-try list! pop on over to the blog Ohoh Deco for the step by step tutorial on how to make recycled tp tube mushrooms perfect to decorate with for the fall and Thanksgiving. Maybe pop a tiny squirrel on top?
THat is really cute and clever! I have tons of old crayons that it would be fun to make into something like that but something tells me it wouldn’t look quite so nice.
Thank you so much for this wonderful idea!!! I plan on making one for my daughter’s room, and for my little sister. I LOVE this idea! Especially now when school supplies are on sale at walmart and you can get a box of 24 crayons for .25 cents. You can’t beat this cheap gift (cheap as in price not in cleverness).
There are no words to decsbrie how bodacious this is.
