My family recycles our plastics and newspapers weekly but if I can re-use some of these items such as containers we use them. Re-purposing items can more cost effective and good for our planet instead of just tossing them into the garbage. Sometimes it can be something simple like using a Tic Tac container as a earbud case or a wine bottle as a lamp! There are so many amazing things that you can use and turn them into completely different items for everyday use! Take a look at some of them, you will be amazed!

Earth Day is April 22nd. Now is the time to think about ways to reuse, recycle and/or up-cycle. How do you up-cycle items in your home? Share by leaving a comment below, I would love to hear all about it!
We are avid recyclers and try to reuse as many containers as possible and safe. I love these ideas to make handy and beautiful things to repurpose so many items.
What a great creative way to reuse various containers! I love the idea of using a tic-tac case for earbuds! I’m always misplacing them!
Oh these are some really fun ideas. It might be nice to work on a couple with the extra containers we save!
What a cool post! I have TONS of containers all the time and before recycling them, I think, “how could I use this again?” But I can’t ever come up with anything. I’ll bookmark these – thanks!
These are some really great ideas. Love the idea of using extra containers! Can’t wait to try some of them out!
These are all great ways to upcycle containers. With so many pretty wine bottles out there I would love to try making the wine bottle lamp.
