Making a wallet out of a juice box. I saw that

You probably know that I reuse everything that I can! That includes potato chip bags and produce net bags. I made bird safe tents for the strawberries one year with net stretched over pieces cut from plastic milk jugs. You can use them to drip dry tub toys, or to keep poolside things handy, or to hang onions for storage, make funky package bows... Newspaper is always reused here. I don't take the paper, so I'm not inundated with it, but I use it to dry windows and mirrors, to wrap tomatoes in to ripen, to keep the table clean when I'm doing messy stuff. I save torn plastic shower curtain liners to use as drop cloths for painting. I reuse coffee cans for everything. Used coffee grounds can be used as a room deodorizer, a compost additive, a facial scrub and lots more.

I don't know of any videos that have the subject of reusing things. However, there are several things that my mother has made in her crafting that involve reusing things. I think that my favorite thing that she has ever made that saves something from a landfill is Santa heads that are made from empty bleach bottles, yarn and felt. They are really cute and they make great gifts as well. I really like coming up with crafts that can be made from materials that are recycled.

i also like the way that they used to recycle sugar sacks and flour sacks and made clothes out of them. i make my own paper out of used wrapping paper etc.

They also make (and sell on Ebay) purses made out of the juice pouches like Capri Sun. I don't know, I guess if that suits your fancy, its a good thing, but I wouldn't carry one. I have also seen things made out of duct tape..cool but again...how long of life do they all have before you have to make another one! I try to recycle best I can like reusing the plastic t-shirt bags at the grocery and use them for trash bags and couple other things, but we don't drink enough soda to keep them to recycle...I mean a case a month...do you realize how long it'd take me to save enough to just pay for my gas to get them to a recycling center? Same with the water bottle. I got a Britta and just refill them About every other month, I'll buy a case just to get fresh bottles...gotta have some compliance with germs and all..but those I save to give to my grand daughter as she recycles them as they buy ones...no Britta for them! So really..I don't have much to recycle.

Saved a few chairs to make into planters for my garden a few years back. Otherwise, there isn't much that I've saved recently. Though I did take a walk with my Son this morning and picked up a can or two it won't be made into anything but it'll be added to my bin and turned in next year for a few extra $.

I don't have any great rescues but there is a lady here in town that weaves doormaos out of the plastic bags that you get at Wal-mart or the grocery store! I was amazed! She presented them to my daughters old girl scout troop while they were learning about recycling.

Well,I make many of my own cleaning products and I try to store them in plastic milk jugs that have been cleaned and recycled. I also recycle paper bags and other paper items for use in other things. I like the idea of making the veggie net bags into scrubbers.

That sounds interesting. I have done alot of cans....I paint them and decoupage things on them like snowmen etc and they are nice containers to store things in...I also have sold alot at craft sales. Recycled.....and they turn out so cute!
