99 Recycled Gift Ideas
Creative Ways to Turn Old Goods into Something Worth Cherishing:
Recycled gift ideas used to refer to objects that could be regifted, but with eco-consciousness on the rise, the recession and the new wave of DIY crafters, it now often implies a homemade creation made from used or unwanted materials. These upcycled and recycled gift ideas show the way that an object that is of little interest to someone can be transformed into an eco-friendly, creative and unique item worth cherishing. Check out the cluster for everything from piano key pendants and jewelery made from bicycle parts to chandeliers made of old dolls.
