Trashy Friends

I found someone that was more than happy to join my cause and now sends me all the used gift cards she collects at work (Trader Joes). She found me Now that i think about - lucky me! Here's a picture of the last batch. I love to get mail and when it turns out to be trashy mail it's that much more exciting.

New ideas

While at Inspired someone requested a new design for my used gift card necklaces. At first I really didn't think it would look good, lay right or even work but to my surprise as I was putting it together it just felt right and came together beautifully! Thanks Cheryl Carraway for requesting the design!

Upcycled Bracelets!

So I can't get the Used Gift card medium out of my head so here's what else is on my 2011 to make list!
Bracelet's I of course first thought I should make them how I make my plastic bottle charm bracelets like the Elephant one below........................

but after some pondering thought you really couldn't see the gift cards and that wouldn't be much fun so this is what I dreamed up!

Gift Cards

So I found another use for used gift cards~ as this is my idea out of the gate but for me it's a nice addition to my used gift card line! Guitar picks! my son plays a little and he thinks they are cool!
You can get a set over at my easy shop www.RadicalRecycks.etsy.com  If you have a custom request let me know!

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!

New Wristlet Design!

I whipped these wristlet's up just before Liberty Fest~ I wanted a cute Wristlet that was big enough for all the essentials but small enough for us ladies on the go! What do you think??

Plastic House

I taught at ArtFiberFest back in June, sadly it was the last year it will be hosted BUT I also took a class with Charlotte Lyons (here's her blog http://housewrenstudio.typepad.com/ ) we made houses out of felt ~ we had so much fun chatting and sewing~ It was a great day! She inspired me to make a "Plastic House" I think it could use a bottle cap fence but I'm working on it~ not enough time in the day for all my ideas dammit!
