Recycling Index

Here you’ll find recycling ideas for re-using hundreds of items that you don’t want any more.  There’s no need to throw those things away if you can recycle them for a different purpose, so I like to publish as many recycling crafts as possible.  There are so many that they are organized by category, with each section growing quite rapidly.

Now you can zero in on:

Recycling Containers
All sorts of ideas for reusing plastic bottles, tin cans, plastic bags and other containers.

Blue Jeans Love
Practical reuses for old denim blue jeans or denim shirts including rugs, bathroom accessories, pocket magnets, bulletin board, clothes and more.

Recycling Paper
Reuses for calendars, wrapping paper, gift bags, wallpaper, paperback books, brown paper bags and computer paper.

Cardboard Recycling
Turn cereal boxes or wine boxes into magazine holders; make a journal cover, holiday storage box, egg carton pumpkins, even a wall organizer or cardboard vase.

Recycled Lightbulbs

Turn old-style light bulbs into Christmas, Halloween or Easter ornaments.

Recycled Greeting Cards
Greeting cards are a wonderful resource for making one-of-a-kind, beautiful gift bows and miniature gift boxes, Christmas trees and ornaments, woven heart baskets, placemats and more.
Everything else has likely been thrown in the Household Goods bin, where all sorts of surprising crafts await. Enjoy.
