I made 3 cards recycling trash. And I have some ideas for more.
Here are my cards:
Tissue Box CardHeart TrioFlower HeartHere are the trash items I used:
1) an invitation to an alumni dinner from my law school on its way to the recycling bin
2) used coffee filter
3) biscotti box I saved from the recycling bin
4) a plastic covered twist tie destined for the trash
5) used match
Now these are items I used that normal people would throw out but since I'm not normal, I'm a crafter, I had them in my stash. Hopefully that still counts since I did save them from the trash, just not recently:
1) beer bottle cap I had my dad save for me after seeing someone on-line use one as an embellishment
2) left over screening from when I fixed the screened in porch
3) coffee cup sleeves from Starbucks
4) the ribbon loops from either a blouse or dress for holding it on a hanger. I hate those things, so I cut them out.
5) Tissue box
I've attached some close-ups of the bottle cap and the arrow since they didn't show up too good in the photos.
