10 Things to Recycle/Reuse/Repurpose
- Food Boxes - for example Ceral Boxes, pasta boxes, pop tart boxes - these make great gift wrapping boxes I have a whole large stash of them my box of box they are perfect for all occasions and don't really need gift wrapping.
- Jars (any kind really) - I like to save all sorts of shapes and size jars - spaghetti jars, jam jars, taco sauce jars - they are perfect for store scrapbook embellishments as well as other items like pens and markers on your desk, newspaper rubberbands, tacks etc.
- Old Wool Sweaters - I've heard that you can felt these into all sorts of fun things hand bags, potholders, bowls I've been dying to try it but I haven't had time yet.
- Newspapers - RECYCLE them! Not only are they good for clipping out words and articles but take them to your local firestation and/or library and have them recycled. This also makes for great wrapping paper I like the stock page as it's all black and white. Something to note this is also a great garden liner better than the plastic kind if you lay it down water and cover with mulch it will keep your garden weed free.
- Waterbottles - I reuse these puppies. We wash them out and refill them. Once we're done into the recycling they go.
- Twisty Ties - right now I'm reusing twisty ties as a key ring to I don't lose my desk key, a curtain tie and luggage tag holder - what can you Twisty Tie?
- Unmatched Socks - these make lovely mittens, nice stuffed creatures, dust rags and more.
- Record Album Covers - These make lovely wallpaper.
- Plastic Sacks - I reuse these over and over and over for trashcan liners, taking lunch to the office, assorted tote bags options and I recently saw these adoreable little purses made from them.
- Laundry Baskets - they make nice recycling center bins, foot stools, shoe collectors and holders of random stuff.
