Gray days make me a little spacey. I have a bit of trouble staying focused. Remembering what it is I need to be doing.
Good thing I live in NE Ohio.
Anyhoo...
So I sat down a bit ago to send an email to a friend and was checking out FB when I saw this really cool repurposing craft that (although completely unrelated to yarn) I just had to share! Apparently, yesterday at one of our local parks they made jump ropes out of plastic bags.
But that's not even the really cool part. This is the really cool part: they used old markers for the handles!!!
I love that!!!!! The use of plastic bags I have seen before. (And done before! And will likely do again someday.) But the idea of using old markers was just a slap on the forehead for me. I mean, do you know how many markers I have had to throw away over the last 10 years of mommy-hood, and how many more I should sort through and throw away right now?!?
But here's a question for you: what else could you do with them? I have two boys and a gravel driveway so this particular craft will only take me so far. Have you seen any other uses for old markers?
And even beyond that, have you seen any other repurposing ideas that were a slap on the forehead for you? Something you can't believe nobody ever thought of before? Did you hear about it from someone else or did you have an a-ha moment and come up with it yourself?
Comment here or on FB, gimme all your eco-thrifty-crafty good tips!
