Recycling

Here are photos of my "trash to treasure" ideas




The cookies are punched from cork pieces that were given to me by a friend, instead of going to the trash bin.

After eating the delicious Ferrero Rocher ball, I used all the wrapping pieces and a chewing gum bubble to make the box.  Each ball makes one box. No, I didn't eat all four...members of the family donated their part.

The "glass" jar was a test tube.  I used a saw to cut it.

The candies are tiny glass beads wrapped with a piece of wrapping from the real candy.

I love recycles and enjoy and appreciate seeing what other friends recycle.

And, of course, a warm welcome to

    I can't believe that they aren't real. You are so clever Drora and I'm glad you enjoyed the full-size chocolates as well! I've always believed that miniaturists are the best recyclers ever.

    Drora. This was a fun idea. The look so tasteful that I want to eat them all.

    Want you to know that I have made a post on my blog about the "Bavarian/Allmoge furniture" with photos and a little bit of history. I think this was fun.
