Hi there, Anne-Marie of Handmade by Amo'r here with this month's Getting to Know You Treasury.

| Welcome Wallhanging by Heckety Beckety |
This is where the Crafty Ireland Team gets to meet and greet another Etsy team in a 50-50 cross-team treasury. The idea is to introduce ourselves and mutually promote both teams. Please give a hearty Irish welcome to this month's guests, The Era of Recycling Team.
Etsy is awash with glorious green treasuries this time of year in the run up to St Patrick's Day. Thank you Etsy people around the globe for acknowledging our tiny green isle!! I thought I'd go green in a different way and sought out a team that believed in recycling, upcycling, being Eco-friendly and using sustainable materials.

The Crafty Ireland Team says HELLO to The Era of Recycling Team. Let's go Green in a different way for St Patrick's Day

And continuing with the theme, here are a couple of super simple ideas for recycling or re-using in the home. No skills required!
Candle holder made with re-purposed souffle packaging (glass ramekin) and tiny pieces of frosted sea glass. (more info here, on my own blog if required)
Don't discard those laddered stockings and tights! Cut the 'foot' off and cover the end of your broom for an amazing cobweb and animal hair duster. An old sock will work ok too, but the static electricity of the nylon really draws fluff, dust and dander like a magnet. And it's more Eco-friendly than plugging in your vacuum cleaner every time!
Have you got any quick and easy tips for recycling and re-using at home? Please do comment below.
Wonderful article, AM. And I love the idea of reusing an old nylon stocking - will try it out soon!

Loved looking at items from your team...sparked a few ideas for repurposing and recycling more materials in my crafting.
DeleteI notice you used Black Tights ..is there any reason for this ..? my 19 yr old granddaughter wears thick Black 120 denier Tights ..would these be suitable ..? regards Elaine
DeleteThe colour or denier doesnt matter. Nylon works best as it creates static so all the dust & fluff jumps to it but even an old sock will pick up a lot of the dirt. I used the black stocking for this pic because it was already ripped.
DeleteLovely as always Anne-Marie :). The candle holder idea is really lovely- the colours must reflect beautifully. Whenever any of my candles in glass holders have burnt out I clean out the holder and reuse it- they are especially pretty with little coloured tealights and I'd imagine that some of you would make amazing creations!
ReplyDeleteWell done Anne-Marie, recycle , upcycle...we must thinking on it more
