I have dedicated myself to the idea that not everything that is headed to the landfill is just useless junk; in fact I have found that almost everything can indeed be repurposed. With that in mind the products I create were once destined for the landfill.
With a little imagination, some ingenuity, and lots of elbow grease I have created these usable items.
Repurposed with a Purpose and more…..
Here’s just a few…..
Made from material that would otherwise be thrown away. We tie – dyed it, and I embroidered. Voila! A beautiful bag with a message. Or a message bag looking beautiful.
A pair of pants and an unwanted neck tie.
These two bags were made from swatches of discarded interior designer sample books.
This one is every body’s favorite. After feeding my hounds I just couldn’t bear to throw this perfectly useable material out!
More to come…..
Remember to Reduce, Reuse & Recycle!
