I love to come up with ways to repurpose items instead of sending them to the trash or recycling bins. These creative recycling ideas not only help save the environment but your money too. As my Father-in-law says:
I have written many posts on Repurposing Projects here on Mission to Save, but I wanted to see if anyone had other clever ideas for upcycling projects using packaging from everyday items. So many good ideas….
