Better Homes & Gardens has come up with some neat crafts made with recycled materials. The picture frame shown below really caught my eye. It is made from magazine pages and cardboard. I’m thinking that this would be a colorful and creative way to bring an old picture frame back to life.
There are 12 low cost recycled craft ideas, which include:
- fabric scrap balls
- patterned paper book covers
- yardstick frames and vintage tin crafts supplies organizer
- painted jewelry box
- homemade license plate art
- magazine page frame and storage box
- paint cans turned organizer
- beaded luminarias
- paper covered jewelry boxes
Some of these crafts use items that you might have lying around the house such as cigar boxes, magazine pages, paint, glass telephone line insulators, and paint cans.
Which project do you think you’d like to try?
