Crafts and Creative Recycling (Friday) (December 29, 2023)
As 2023 winds down, it's a time for endings and new beginnings. That is true for this vibrant website that has been posting content since 1999. Unfortunately, ThriftyFun and our affiliated sites will no longer be able to accept posts after the first of the year. That means that this will be our final craft newsletter.

We will continue to leave up an archived copy of all the wonderful tips, recipes and craft projects, questions and answers that have been submitted over the last 24 years. Thank you to everyone that took time to be a part of this helpful site. All of us here at ThriftyFun wish you and yours the very best in 2024.

Thanks for reading,
Jess

Recycled Jeans Hotmitts

By Marjorie

Recycled Jeans HotmittsMy son is a career soldier and lives with only the basic necessities of life because the army moves him from one duty station to another. I used his microwave and noticed he didn't have any hot mitts. So I made him a man's set of hot mitts from an old pair of blue jeans.
