Earth day is right around the corner and it’s time to “CRAFTCYCLE”! We want to help our planet by reducing the amount of supplies we use, reuse items we have around the house, to create a fabulous craftcycle project – turning something used into a fabulous new crafty item! Use your creative powers for good as you make something awesome this Earth day!
We’re sharing ways where you can take what you already have the in house and make something new, give it a little craftcycle boost for a fresh look! Whether you’re crafting with kids or making a fun DIY home decor piece, get craftcyling!
