Another fave is the cereal box wallet. If you've visited us at an outdoor event, perhaps you've even made your own.
And then there's the soda tab belt. The perfect eco-accessory for every wardrobe!

Recycling our favorite projects for Earth Day!
Happy Earth Day, RePlay readers! In keeping with the recycling spirit, I'm posting a few of my favorite projects from that past.
First is the sports jersey tote bag. Is the perfect accessory for any grocery store. It gets double recycling points because you don't need to get those disposable plastic bags.
Another fave is the cereal box wallet. If you've visited us at an outdoor event, perhaps you've even made your own.
And then there's the soda tab belt. The perfect eco-accessory for every wardrobe!

Weft, Warp, ReMake!
Disney Family Fun posted this Hula Hoop rug project on their blog. Using scraps of old t-shirts as the warp and a Hula Hoop as a loom, you can make a beautiful circular rug! For step-by-step instructions, check out Disney Family Fun.
