Ummm .... they're making these out of remnants, folks .. not reminants!
I like the shoe holder.
I like the shoe holder best!
I LOVE that hammock
They are clever, but the best recycling doesn't LOOK recycled, and these things do. If people what to live with items whose origins are obvious and obviously scrap, more power to them, but I prefer recycled things that are subtle enough so that people are surprised to learn they are green.
Another great craft idea for kid summer camp.
