I just love this site — The ReUse Project! There are so many great projects — and great ideas — here!
From a necklace made from magazine pages to napkin rings made from old wooden spools, from a collage postcard made from found art to cushions made from broken umbrellas, today's front page has lots of great items!
Check it out and get some great ideas!

How-to Make a Purse from a Magazine Page
I am always looking for different and exciting ways to reuse all the stuff I have.
This how-to is great at Henrietta's Handbags and Purse Patterns is great.
The site gives instructions for making a purse from magazine pages.
While you're there, go to the Site Map and scroll down to the Free Handbag Patterns and Purse Patterns link. There are several other eco-friendly ideas there. The site also sells purses and handbags made from a variety of materials.
Note to crafters: Please read the FAQ section on the Henrietta's site. The patterns are copyrighted, and crafters must sign an agreement to share the revenue you make.

Plans for this blog
My plans for this blog include having a weekly Artist Spotlight, featuring information about a recycling artist and/or crafter who creates their work from recycled, reused, repurposed, etc. materials. If you'd like to suggest someone for the spotlight, please leave me a comment. I have a lot of favorites, but I'm always interested in someone new.
I'll also have a weekly Focus on How-To post, featuring some of the best how-to sites on the Internet, specifically how-to recycle, reuse, repurpose things into useful or decorative items. Again, if you have a favorite How-To segment out there, let me know, and I'll check it out.
At least once a week, I'll write a longer post, like yesterday's, about some of the things we do around our house to recycle, reuse and repurpose as much as we can. Additionally, I'll try to add shorter posts daily, mentioning some of my current projects.
This weekend, I'll be working on making handmade paper infused with Texas wildflowers.
I hope you'll be checking back regularly to see what I've posted on this blog.
