With Earth Day fast approaching, our focus this week is on 'green' crafts. We've got lots of ideas for how you can recycle and upcycle unwanted craft supplies and other items. Happy Crafting!

Make Paper Jewelry
Take some bits of unwanted paper and add a little creativity and the results are some eye-catching one-of-a-kind items of jewelry. Check out this project list for some interesting ideas.

Cardboard Box Crafts
Rather than taking used cardboard boxes to the recycle bin, why not have a go at recycling them into something new. There are lots of ideas for you here including making a castle and a puppet theater from cardboard boxes.

Make Handmade Paper
Recycle all those pieces of paper from crafting projects into sheets of handmade paper following this photo tutorial. Add dried petals, seeds or other embellishments to create beautiful sheets of paper for a very low cost.

How to Recycle Candle Wax
Here are some tips and advice for recycling candle wax. Recycling wax is a useful way to use up odds and ends of candles while also providing a low cost supply of wax for new projects.
