I’m working on a weekly series over at greenUPGRADER on turning trash into craft. Each installment features common items that would head to the trash or recycle bins and ideas for incorporating them into craft projects! It’s really a win win: you get free craft supplies and divert those things from the waste stream all at the same time! Hurrah!

Here are the ones that are up so far:

If there is anything you’d like to see featured, I’d love to hear from you! You can leave a comment here, on one of the Craft Recycled posts, or send me an email through the Contact page.

I loved it so much that I pulled it off the gift, glued a pin backing on it and still wear it to this day. Since Dave and I are headed to his folks’ place for Easter, I wanted a hostess gift for his mom. She always sets such a lovely table and goes out of her way to make sure I’ve got lots of vegan options to munch on.

Scrap Flowers

Inspired by Ally’s flower, I made my mother-in-law this fancy pants bouquet out of fabric scraps! It was really fun and simple. If you want to make one, too, you can learn how with my tutorial on greenUPGRADER!

The “vase” is a wooden spool left over from vintage thread that Dave’s grandma gave me, along with an insane haul of vintage sewing supplies including her old Singer Style-o-Matic. I sort of thought using something of her mom’s made this gift a little more personal.

I hope you all have a great weekend! I’m hitting up a screening of Re-Construct over at Young Blood Gallery and then sewing my little fingers off. I hope there’s time on Sunday to get my Spring veggies planted. I’m so behind on my porch garden!

This weekend, I whipped up a Meditation Scrub. I’d forgotten how easy sugar scrubs are to make!



Really, you can just make the scrub and stick it into a clean container, but I decided to decorate my jar with a junk mail envelope and teeny heart punch.

Really, you can just make the scrub and stick it into a clean container, but I decided to decorate my jar with a junk mail envelope and teeny heart punch. You can read the recipe and some tips on decorating the container over at greenUPGRADER!
