Got Stuff?
Need Projects?
Our Crafting for a Greener World Columnist Can Help!
Do you gaze forlornly at that stack of odd containers? Are you
puzzled by those old rusty bits in that bucket in the garage? Is
that stiff plastic packaging too cool to toss, but you just don’t
know what to do with it? Maybe you just can’t bear to throw out
those embroidered bell bottoms filled with memories, even though
they haven’t fit you in years. I bet you’re not alone.
You have stuff you’re collecting and need some plans and projects,
and our Crafting for a Greener World Columnist Robyn Coburn would love the challenge of coming up with some new creative
ideas especially for you and your stash of "possibilities."
At last, you will feel great about that cardboard you kept for years
– maybe get a jump on your holiday gifts, or hand make some fun –
and cheap – kids’ stuff. Finally your spouse will stop grumbling and
start seeing the potential of that pile of boxes. Well, we can
dream....
Tell Robyn what you are saving, hoarding, or wondering about.
Email her
your list, even send photos if you have ‘em. And she promises
to do her best to come up with a new crafty use for it and share the
idea and method in a future article. It’s like Dear Abby for junk!
Then once you have created your masterpiece, send along another picture or
link, so that we can all applaud!
