I hope you’ve joined us the past few weeks for our “Repurposing” series as a part of “Works for me Wednesday”. If you’re new to the series, please feel free to revisit our previous articles on repurposing bags, boxes, baskets, and bottles. Please join me today as we celebrate repurposing with a link love fest!

• Deputy HeadMistress at Frugal Hacks wrote a great article on “The Lowly Envelope”! I can’t wait to start trying some of these great tips!


• TipNut.com is a great resource of all kinds of repurposing and recycling projects! Here’s an article on 25 Things to Do with Old Jeans. Be sure to check out their section on Green Living and a special section within their crafts all about Repurposing. This article on Household Tips also has some great ideas for repurposing!


• I found this great article on a Magazine Bowl through TipNut.com! Be sure to check out Patricia’s site, A Little Hut and all her recycling projects!

• Rachel Ray has highlighted repurposing in several segments on her show. This segment shows you how to repurpose clothes! Last week, I saw a rerun with the Threadbangers! Rachel has several clips with the Threadbangers on her site, and you can also visit their site directly. If you’re a visual learner, you’ll want to check out their videos on their site.


• I think one of the greatest ways to find things to repurpose or recycle is Freecycle. Although this falls a little more into the recycling category, you might find something you can repurpose!


• If you’re thinking about Christmas presents, why not repurpose an outgrown sweatshirt into a pair of mittens? This site from HGTV.com shows you how!
