Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
If you’re still using paper bags from the grocery store, you’ve hopefully got stock piles of them because you don’t want to throw them out and are looking for ways to recycle them. Inspiration Turn Design has a great tutorial for using those paper bags to make some unique notebooks!
I save my cereal box cardboard to practice art techniques or for the base of a collage but this idea for cutting a hole in it to form a handle is fabulous. This recycled food box gift tote idea came from the huge collection of recycled gift packaging ideas featured at the blog Upcycle My Stuff.
These are really cute! Great idea! Actually, I finally made a little upcycled book with my scrap papers from paper crafting and now I am SO hooked! I want to make a ton of these little things! LOL!
P.S. You can see my creation on my blog! LOL! I forgot to post that part!
