Yet another link to share- this time I was looking for pictures of recycled plastic for a friend's blog who makes fleece blankets (recycled pop bottles) and happened upon a blog that has a clever idea to reuse a gift card by tracing a guitar pick shape onto it and then cutting it out at a 90 degree angle (still trying to figure that one out- might have to experiment) and filing the edges smooth. My 10 year old daughter is always missing at least one guitar pick and I thought this was a fantastic idea!
I decided I would just give you the link to the recycled crafts section of the blog since there were some other neat ideas like a magazine rack for a doll house made from a razor cartridge (I know you might be too old for that, but who doesn't love mini?) and plastic beads made from colored plastic, then melted (might need dad's help on that one, but still a cool idea). They used colored paper on theirs, but another site I saw with the same idea just used colored pens. Any of these would be perfect to make an Earth Day project on April 22nd.

P.S. Make sure the gift cards are empty first!
