5 Cool Upcycling Ideas For Earth Day

This week, news programs are full of stories and reports about the planet and things we can do to respect and preserve its resources. In that spirit, here are 5 cool upcycling ideas for Earth Day.

Earth day is Tuesday (4/22) and I couldn't think of a better theme for TikTok Tuesday than recycling, repurposing and reusing things you already have. Not only does it cut down on waste but also on your expenses. Some of these also make thoughtful gifts for the right person.

Have fun creating something new and be sure to share with your crafty friends.

Wow can you do a lot with old cans. You can use either fabric or paper to make these. Also, if you cut holes in the bottom of the cans for drainage, you can even use these for plants. The possibilities are endless.

You can also use your old paper towel holders. Baskets can be made in all sizes too. I also like the idea of spray painting them when they are done to match your decor.

I've seen this before and love the idea. Especially if it is a special bottle from a special event. Sometimes you might want to keep that bottle but just aren't quite sure what to do with it. Repurpose it for somethng that is functional and fun like this.

I love how this looks. I have tons of disks too. Now the question is which one to part with? I'll skip the music ones and find those I've used over the years to store photos and documents that are now saved other places.

Chances are you have some old crates sitting around, full of junk. Going into summer, this is a great multi-use idea for them. Put your outdoor supplies in for transport, then flip it over for a table at the beach, picnics, camping, etc.
