Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
It’s Memorial Day here in the U.S. and I sewed these tote bags made from uniforms of soldiers that were killed. They are for the soldier’s moms.

I don’t have much available way space as I cover my walls with art. But I do have big white plain kitchen cabinets so this idea for putting big red ribbons on them to clip the Christmas cards to is perfect. This idea for displaying holiday cards is featured at the blog Life As Mama along with a bunch more.
That was a very thoughtful idea, I’m sure those mothers will cherish those forever
What a thoughtful way to help those mothers feel closer to their fallen sons or daughters. I imagine it could be very comforting. Too often, the uniforms are thrown away or stored away although the memories stay raw and painful. This way, the bags can help them ease through the initial shock and feel a connection with their beloved child.
Thank you for creating this wonderful and practical memorial.
