Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
Every once and a while someone donates a bunch of bookmarks to my little free library and I always get a kick out of them. I think it’s a nice touch. This idea for transforming recycled candy boxes with a touch of ribbon into colorful bookmarks just might be a great “no-brainer” project for a hot afternoon. Pop on over to the blog Organize your stuff now for the tutorial on how to make recycled candy box bookmarks.
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.
Those look cute!!
