How can I recycle old materials into new crafts?

You can use old newspapers to create paper mache, or transform glass jars into decorative vases. What materials do you have?

I have some old t-shirts and plastic bottles.

Great! You can cut the t-shirts into strips to make a braided rug or use plastic bottles to create planters. Would you like instructions for either?

Yes, please! How do I make a planter from a plastic bottle?

First, cut the bottle in half. Then, poke holes in the bottom for drainage, fill it with soil, and plant your seeds!

That sounds easy! Can I paint the bottle?

Absolutely! You can use acrylic paint to decorate it. Just make sure to let it dry before adding soil.
