In the days of financial crisis, recycling is going to become a way of life for many who have never even thought of the idea.
In the Cyprus sun the weather makes plastic pegs brittle and the wooden ones get black. I had a few lying around holding bits of paper as clips and bag seals etc. After a while I hated looking at them and threw them away.
I then decided a good way of recycling them and keeping my eye happy was to brighten them up. I had odd pieces of ribbon lying around from chocolate boxes etc and covered the pegs with them.
Come Christmas time I decided they were great to have on the tree holding decorations and I also added a little magnet from a broken fridge magnet and made a Christmassy note holder.
Now I know it is a bit early for Christmas, but there are birthdays and celebrations to be had before then.
A brown paper bag can be transformed into a quick gift bag.
So that is how I use up my old clothing pegs using my craft scraps. I now don't have to think very hard about little gift ideas either. I have painted them and then rubbed transfers on for my friends to use in their offices, they love them and of course they are free.

What a great idea! I love the idea of recycling materials to create new functional art. Or, even non-functional art. It's the reusing that's a great thing.
I think recycling is a great alternative to save our planet or decrease the pollution. I think this problem still have a sollution, just depend of us. We need to think about our vehaviour and make a change and start to make the difference.
