Turn Trash Into Crafts

That's because a lot of our odder odds and ends seem sort of neat when they're all together in a drawer or box. The kid in us insists this stuff is treasure. Which - OK, maybe not. But you can still turn it into something pretty.

Recycle Denim Into Sewing Projects

My dresser drawers aren't exactly junk-free, either. For example, I wear my jeans until they fall off my body. And then I keep what's left of them for ages, telling myself I'll fix them or something. Thanks to this piece, I finally have the "or something."

Another thread I missed earlier - sorry Solane! But maybe I was meant to find it now while the kids are on school hols and in need of craft ideas to keep them busy. Yesterday they were making sock puppets. I have tried teaching them to crochet and knit but you know Y generation - little patience and need instant gratification so these ideas might suit them a little better. Thanks for posting this

Fabulous!!!! I'm going to spend more time there later. Thanks!
