Depending on how much arts and crafts time you set aside this summer, we’ve got the list. We’ve seen Rubbish Please do some beautiful things with recycling, but nothing compares to these arts and crafts projects. Always inspiring, this is reuse and reduce at it’s finest, and perhaps fine art. Rubbish Please has proven recycling is an art form, so why don’t you spend the summer with the kids using your imagination by reusing your rubbish.
A great list of ideas that I can do. I have been collecting toilet paper rolls for a while now and had no clue what I wanted to do.
Thanks for linking up with the Fabulously Frugal Link Party! These are such fun ideas for recycling AND making fun toys.
