Ideas for Earthday Crafts

Happy Earth Day everyone. Turn off that light... I'm sure you don't need it. :)

OK OK sorry, couldn't help myself. 

First up my most popular Recycle Project:
Making a useful clock out of Garbage - You can take Anything, an old record, grandma's old hat, a wall hanging, it doesn't matter the size or shape. Then you pick up the Clock works, I suggest anything from Walnut Hallow (which I carry). Their 3 piece starter kit has everything for $7.29. You get stick on numbers, arms and the works. All the directions are in it. 

Second is Plarn: Which is Yarn made from plastic bags. Instructions for making Plarn are all over the net but here are a few links to help you get started. Once you have your plarn anything you can make with thick yarn you can make with plarn.
