It's Earth Day this month and what better way to celebrate than by turning some trash into treasure? My inspiration for this post came from the window display you see below. Look at the plastic spoon wreaths. How great is that?

Lovely inspiration! Thanks for sharing...I need to make a new wreath for the front door and I'm thinking something with magazines and paper bags may just be the plan!
ReplyDeleteCute! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great teaching opportunity and activity to do with kids!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly ;-)
DeleteWow, I like that brown paper bag wreath. I shouldn't be too hard to make and in case you don't have any paper bags, you could easily make it with wrapping paper, right? Upcycling at its best!
ReplyDeleteoooh, definitely! that would make it nice and colorful :-)
DeleteWe've already tried using old plastic bags. I found the brown paper bags prettier, I'll check and try that one too.
