A Few Recycled Craft Ideas

Here are a few projects that I was thinking of creating patterns for, but found them online:

This cover is a great way to create something beautiful from glass bottles or jars. I also think it would be nice to knit a little shrug. If you don’t want to make one, you can buy the one pictured above here from nesty on Etsy.

This project for recycled sweater mittens is similar to the mittens that I featured a while back from Liz Jones Handmade. You definitely need to use 100% wool for proper felting. You could even knit a few small squares with wool yarn and felt it for this project. We made some a few weeks ago with felt appliqués in the shape of a heart and star. You can find instructions from Martha Stewart here.

I’ve seen this recycled crayon idea all over the place but haven’t tried it yet. Here are some heart-shaped crayons, also from Martha Stewart, that would make nice valentines for kids. For more Valentine ideas, see my Valentine’s Day Crafts page.
