When it comes time to craft and create, one of the best places to find inspiration is to go through your recycling bin. It is filled with cardboard boxes, soda or water bottles, egg cartons, and so much more.
I thought I would share with you some of the crafts JDaniel and I have created using recycled materials.
Soda Bottle Flower
This flower made of the bottom third of a soda bottle, muffin tin liners, a bottle cap and straw was easy to make and looks great with light streaming from behind it.
You may be thinking that you don’t remember seeing this flower featured here before and you would be right. I shared it on a guest post I did for Childhood Beckons. You can visit Childhood Beckons to see how to make this fun flower step by step.
Rained on Pictures Collage
This fun lamb puppet was created using an egg carton for the lamb’s body. He was featured in a guest post I did for Rainbows Within Reach as a part of an egg carton challenge.
Lorax Collage

When we moved two years ago, my daughter created an entire town out of moving boxes in the new basement. Poor thing, she was crushed that we couldn’t leave them up forever!
You are having a lot of fun crafting with recyclables. Lorax is adorable!
