It just seems much less wasteful to use a few things before they get thrown out.

Here are some awesome recycled Valentine crafts that all use an item or two from the recycle bin. Grab those old newspapers, cardboard boxes, and scraps of paper. It’s time to start crafting!

I love using recycled materials for crafts. It’s less wasteful because you’re using materials instead of throwing them away. And, it saves money and a trip to the store for extra craft supplies.

These simple Valentines crafts are all pretty and fun. You’re kids will love them!

So, rummage in the recycle bin and grab some supplies.

What Recycled Materials Should You Keep?

Keep anything cardboard, such as old packing boxes, cereal boxes, and even cardboard tubes.

Also, newspaper, magazines, and paper scraps are good for craft projects.

Finally, keep some things that can’t be recycled, but can be reused such as old cd’s and bubble wrap.

All of these things are great for craft projects.
