Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
Projects done with kids is a great way to spend time and initiate the next generation into the joy of creating and recycling. Check out the awesome tutorial Michelle of the blog Mollymoo shared on how to make a recycled material pirate ship toy.
Love working with recycled items? Check out this amazing recycled Crafts book.
Old sporting equipment often gets discarded but certainly not by any recycled crafter. The clever crafter over at the blog Recreated Designs has created these rustic pumpkins from old tennis rackets. Pop on over to see the tutorial on how to make recycled old tennis racket pumpkins. I wonder if pickle ball rackets would work too?
Thanks ever so much for mentioning my DIY Cardboard Pirate Ship on CraftGossip – I’m honoured, and chuffed to bits :)))))
The (free) hull pattern is available here to download http://mollymoo.ie/2012/04/diy-cardboard-ship-pattern/
Thank you for sharing this great idea. I had a fun to make it and I hope my boys appreciate the final boat… some day 🙂
