Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
Now that we’re married (yay!) we’re starting to get back to home improvements. One of the big ones on my list is getting rid of all the crappy vinyl blinds we’ve got. And since I want to grow some veggies, this tutorial on recycling vinyl blinds into plant markers seems perfect for me!
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.
Warning!
Beware of lead! Some vinyl blinds contain lead and your vegetables will be contaminate with lead!!!
