Recycle or Upcycle for Earth Day

April 22, 2015 by Julie Leave a Comment

Happy Earth Day! To celebrate I wanted to share some of my favorite upcycled projects.

I loved the way these bud vases, made from nail polish bottles, turned out.

Have an old t-shirt you can’t wear anymore? Turn it into a headband (perfect for spring/summer weather.)

A fun container I made for Littlest so he could carry around treasures in it.

My sister-in-law helped me turn an old tie into a cute necklace.

I’ve also done my share of crocheting with up cycled materials. I used plastic grocery bags to crochet this bag

And worn out blue jeans got cut into strips so I could crochet them into this bowl
