Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
Sister Diane over at CraftyPod goes to town cutting up old playing cards and turning them into some awesome embellishments. She also then shows how they can be used to make a tiny card-size journal or notebook using a layering effect. For those of us not playing with a full deck this is the recycling project perfect for us!
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?
This is a good inspiration for my next art project. may be i can even do this with my nephews…
I have been playing with collage–also have quite a stash of playing cards. Your designs are exceptional.
