Welcome to Repurposed Ideas Weekly Blog Hop where we share ideas about what we’ve repurposed each week.

Today I am feature a few gifts my children put together for their family members. Each child got to make something and the items involved repurposing some materials.

My 6-year old daughter made these cute faces with construction paper, left-over google eyes. She wrapped up chocolate bars to put in each of our stockings.

My 2-year old daughter filled toilet paper tubes with chocolate candies and wrapped them up with paper. They turned out cute and her response was, “this is really fun mommy!”

I made these ornaments for each of my family members. A friend gave me the wooden ornaments, purchased from a fabric and craft store. I found the horse, Dora and tractor in a wallpaper sample book. The nativity was cut out from a Christmas card. I simply glued the image to the wood, then mod podge over them to seal them. Easy, and they turned out really cute. I have spent as much as $15 in the past on a single ornament. These cost me absolutely nothing!

Now it’s your turn to share. Here’s how it works:
1. Publish a blog post about:

a tutorial or simply a photo of a repurposed, recycled, upcylced, or reused item. Examples may include:

• crafts using repurposed materials
• Garage Sale, thrift or antique store finds (let us know what you plan to do with them!)
• DIY  or upcycling project
• green themed ideas
• uses for existing products or items you have at home
• stuff you are selling made from repurposed materials
• photos of cool repurposed ideas you’ve seen, tried, or would like to try!

Thank you for visiting! I hope you will join me each week.

Sincerely, Marlo
