The Green Fair @ Your Library is coming up on Saturday, April 21 and it seems the perfect time to channel your crafting energy into recycling. Use what you already have on hand or what someone else considers trash and make it awesome. It is an exciting moment to see the beauty in an object that has found a new use and is trash no more.
See if you can figure out which one of the books these projects came from: Seed balls, Fused plastic tote, Coat hanger memories, Spa-to-go kit, Baby-jar chandelier, Raffia garlic dryer, Doily tablecloth, Sweet sweater birds, Scented bows, Six-pack screen (my favorite!), Washable soap gift tags, Thermos lamp base.
