TIP TUESDAY #19 - Recycling for your Girlfriend Gift Crafting

Living green isn't just a trend, it is a reminder that we need to follow this lifestyle to be responsible for future generations. How can creative, crafty women go green?

Well, lots of cool things have been made from recycled materials. Remember when we were kids and the piggy banks we made out of detergent plastic containers? The paper towel rolls that became our kaleidoscopes?!

So, recycle some of those memories and answer today's TIP TUESDAY question:

What recyclables do you use in your crafting? What cool things have you seen made with recycled materials?

Okay, I generally have to start first and, I admit, this is a toughie. I do love metals cut from color tin containers (like funky or foreign soda cans). I've made elements from those info jewelry and garden decor. (Just be careful of the sharp edges!) I've salvaged hardware supplies (bolts, washers, etc.) that were spares and included them in art collages.

You're creative - what recycled items have you used or are you planning to include in your crafting projects? What's your favorite recycled materials with which to work? Share! Inspire! Create!
