Great recycled paper bag hat. You can find sturdy brown paper bags at Walmart (the type for frozen foods) for free. The bag must fit on your head. You can turn the bag inside out but not fully, you want it to have a puffy look.

Make a Wind Chime with Old Beads and Jewelry
By Vicki Keong
I recently put together a rather pretty hanger/wind chime for the patio using lots of leftover beads, old odd earrings, bits of old brooches and necklaces, and some colored glass pieces from a broken wind chime.
Recycled Denim And Flannel Window Quilt
By Monica
This is a quilt I made using denim jeans and some flannel flat sheets.
By Marjorie
My son is a career soldier and lives with only the basic necessities of life because the army moves him from one duty station to another. I used his microwave and noticed he didn't have any hot mitts. So I made him a man's set of hot mitts from an old pair of blue jeans.

For those who sew, it's no secret that fabric prices have gotten ridiculously high. This dress was made with a tablecloth. New or gently used tablecloths and sheets can be found at thrift stores for next to nothing and provide tons of yardage.
Crocheted Recycled Christmas Cards

Since I can't stand to throw out all my beautiful Christmas cards,I cut shapes from them, then punch holes around the sides, and crochet on them to make beautiful new Christmas Ornaments. I decorated our tree at church last year with them and received raves!!
