Crafty trash... or Trashy craft?

Tonight I have challenged myself to reinvent my rubbish. I was about to take my recycling up to the recycling bin after dinner when I had an idea, I hadn't yet thought of what craft project I was going to make and I had a big pile of bottles and boxes and plastic for the recycling... what could I do with it??

Its really hard when faced with the challenge because you brain seems to just go... "hmmm what could I do with it? put it in the bin sounds like a good idea!"


But I persevered... and lets just say its not my finest craft moment... but i did start with trash and manage to make some things.

my recycling

I flattened and cut up the cardboard boxes

 traced neat rectangles on the plain side

 glued these sections onto some pages out of my favourite magazine "Frankie"

walah gift tags

next those plastic bottles, plastic containers and tin

hmmm seedling planters?

The final products altogether
