I save my Christmas cards each year and recycle them by cutting gift cards from the front of the cards. It's amazing what unique and beautiful gift cards you can make. Just be sure there is nothing written on the inside of the card on the left side
Never throw an old broken crayon away again. Renew it's life by making something old into something new. Recycle your old crayons into fun new new ones! Here's how...
Someone asked in the TF Newsletter how to re-use a broken computer mouse rather than send to the landfill, and thought I should submit my answer as a craft tip, too.
Handy little pincushions made with quilt batting, fabric and a jar lid or small metal can. Measure the width of your lid/can. Cut a cardboard circle just a bit smaller than this measurement.
I bought an old bird cage hanger at an auction. Later found an old bird cage. I had to use them to make something. This is what I came up with. The light is on a timer to turn on and off in the living room each night. I can use as a night light until I go to bed.
Create fun photo or art work frames with CD cases. Kids love doing them and can be very creative by using recycled materials such as wool, ribbon, beans, googlie eyes, etc.
