Comments on: Using “Junk” for Craft Business Treasure http://www.craftbusinessblog.com/using-junk-for-craft-business-treasure/ How to start, run, and market your own successful craft business Wed, 07 Jan 2009 14:21:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: THAT Painter Lady http://www.craftbusinessblog.com/using-junk-for-craft-business-treasure/#comment-122 THAT Painter Lady Wed, 12 Mar 2008 21:24:36 +0000 http://craftbusinessblog.com/using-junk-for-craft-business-treasure/#comment-122 A few years ago... when recycled was the new catch phrase... I started a side craft business called ReCreations. I started making earrings out of paper egg cartons (actually paper mache' using a blender) and then went into making pins with old jewelry and buttons. I had several other products that used something that could be considered recycled. It was a hit for several years... and the best part... the supplies were nearly free! Think green! Recycling is just another part of the Green movement that will be getting bigger and bigger.

I use plastic bags, vcr tape, cassette tape, and other "junk" to crochet projects. If anyone needs patterns for these types of crafts, please come over for a visit. Everything is free and I love to share and exchange recycled crafts ideas. Crafting with trash or recycled materials is so fun.
