Recycle, RePurpose, ReCreate!

A quick peek at a few favorite earth friendly re-creations currently on my wish list.  All were made from material that would have ended up in the landfills but instead have been turned into, or rather upcycled into not only beautiful but also usable works of art.  I am always wowed by what some have been able to make out of what others would cast off as "garbage".

Clockwise from the top:

1. A tiered trio of pretty vintage china, perfect for afternoon tea time.  -highteaforalice.  
2. Pendant lamps made from vintage glassware vases.  Beautiful!  -BootsNGuss
3. A very fashionable belt born from a used bicycle tire rescued from the dump.  Wow!  -Spiritjug
4. The party's not over yet for these green empty win bottles.  Now they can stay for the after party as upcycled tumblers!  -bottlehood
5. Give your love this neato necklace made from a guitar string and you'll get kisses in return.  -Tanith
6. Gorgeous colorful bracelets made out of recycled cardboard.  Yes, I said cardboard!  -butternutsquash
