Today is Earth Day! There are many ways to recycle things to make kid crafts… however I like to make things that I’ll use. I decided to share a few of my favorite green crafts… all on my to-do-list.

Green Grocery Bags:
I tried the tutorial to make my own, but I couldn’t get the hang of melting my plastic bags, they were too wrinkly and left too many bubbles in it.

Grocery Totes

Wine Bottle Tiki Torches:
For the garden… Keep bugs away during the summer with this cut way to recycle wine bottles .

Wine Cork Trivet:
Why not recycle the cork as well?

Disco Ball:
This is a great craft for a teen’s bedroom, bachelorette party, or party night.

What is your favorite useable object, made from recycled goods?

Hubster and I don’t pack sandwiches too often for lunch, I prefer to take leftovers from dinner. However, to eliminate our use of those plastic sandwich bags when we do (and to better protect our sandwiches), I made green sandwich boxes.

I removed the label from a 1 gallon plastic milk jug and washed throughly. With a few quick cuts, folds and an adhesive velcro dot, my sandwich box was complete.
