Recycling Creatively…One Starbucks Coffee Cup at a time….everythings coming up roses!

I’m so excited…. my coffee cup rose art work (from Starbucks coffee cups, lids, cardboard sleeves, stir sticks etc)  is now up in the Los Osos Starbucks!!!  It’s so cool to hear everyone’s comments on how much they love it!!

Well… I love it too!! I absolutely love making art from these items. It’s so rewarding to create art out of these items that would normally go into the landfills.

So next time you start to toss that coffee cup into the trash… think Recycling Creatively ..that’s what I did.

EcoFriendly Easter

Instead of going out to buy plastic Easter eggs or gift boxes, take a look around your house and in your recycle bin.  The small cardboard raisin boxes are perfect to hide treats and goodies. Simply cover with fun scrapbook paper, gift wrap or fabric.

EcoFriendly Easter Wrap-Raisin Boxes

A empty tea box is perfect for that chocolate Easter bunny (trim with plastic water bottle flower) . For Easter grass use some of your shredded paper from your shredder!!

Repurpose all of your tin cans into creative gift giving… I have one of the can openers where you can place the can lid back onto the can so you can use for storage or perfect for a gift.

Cans make perfect gift containers..Better than in the landfill

So look around your house, in the recycle bin….have the kids help!!! Lets continue to help our planet for future generations by Recycling Creatively.
