Think it's garbage?
Think again!

I never throw anything away. You never know what will come in handy for a craft project or fill a need around the house. Besides, recycling stuff is better than adding to the landfills and it's good for our environment! Here are some ideas for things you can use all that old stuff for.

Things you can do with old film cannisters.
Things you can do with berry baskets
Things you can do with old CD's
Things you can do with old CD jewel cases
Things you can do with old plastic pop bottles
Things you can do with old cardboard tubes
Things you can make with tin foil
How to make lamps & vases from glass bottles
Things you can do with old cardboard milk cartons
Things you can do with wire hangers

It says you have to be a platinum member in order to see any of the project ideas and you have to pay to become a platinum member. Thanks but no thanks.

what are you talking about?? I clicked on the link, having never been there, and saw all of the ideas ...

I didn't see any mention of a membership.

this website has been around for quite a while - they have both free projects and members only projects. for several years I accessed the free projects with no problem. then when I upgraded my pc, I kept getting the message about having to be a member too and could not see the free crafts, and could not figure it out, so I stopped going for a while. a few months later, I tried my bookmark again and I had no problem seeing the free crafts again there. very weird, not sure what caused the issue - must be settings, cookies or something - so I can sympathize - it was frusrating that everyone else could see the free stuff and I could not. Maybe try going to the main site and then clicking on recycling http://www.make-stuff.com/
