My god son and his siblings had their yearly birthday party so I wanted to make something special for their mom that would represent me and my love for them so I had the idea to make flowers from plastic bottles with stems made from plastic silverware and the pot was a soup can collage pauged then filled with plastic caps for the filler~ oh the best part was a picture of each one of them in the center of the flower~ you can see a picture of it on my Facebook Fan page just search Radical Recycks. So I was so loving how it turned out I decided to just make some with nothing in the middle for decoration~someone had given me these old Avon containers that I had not come up with anything for yet so they made the perfect pot & instead of plastic caps since they were a bit to big for the pot I used those glass pebbles that I have had floating around my house for years now!! I used a plastic fork for the stem since i couldn't glue the steam to the flower. How cute would these look at a wedding shower for the guest gift!

Party Recycler
Well when ever I am invited to a party I am a freak about the recycling~ to the point I have everyone from the party coming up to me asking what they should do with their plates, cups, silverware, bottles, etc.... well I am sure in the back of their mind they think I am just a whack job but you know what to bad because I do what I do for their children! And I am sure they also wonder what in the world do I do with the recyclables? recycle them or hoard them ? Well here is what I created with the goods from the last birthday party~ flower magnets made from the Plastic water bottles! These particular magnets will be given away at the Yellow Door in Berkly Michigan for their Grand opening! the first 100 people get goody bags so if you live in Michigan I suggest you put this shop on your to do list! I just set my table up today~ and now that I see my goods with the table I need to go back next week and spruce it up!

Creation is Done!
Here is the creation! It's totally fabulous when your vision turns out better than you had imagined! So the flowers are made from an anthropology magazine, the stems are sticks from my front yard, pot well you know about that but the "fill" in the pot is white caps! How awesome would his look in a foyer of a house?

Today is the last day at the Green fair and again the day is starting out wet and slow. I have meet some great people . Next week will have to be dedicated to getting my house back in order!

Packing Paper Flowers
A few posts ago I showed you my office flowers well I took that office paper home and whipped up some bigger and better ones and spruced them up with some paint! I did this with my girl scout troop also @ first they said no to the project when I showed them a flower unpainted with then I showed them one of these and they quickly changed their minds! With them I used just junk magazines but they turned out so Fabulous I should have taken a picture of all of them but they were to busy cleaning up all the paper pieces all over my living room! If your looking for a rainy day projects with the kids this is a good one and if you need instructions let me know!
