| Upcycled Craft Containers |
Welcome to leslierahye's Earth Day Blog Hop 2♥12! This is the 1st blog hop that I've hosted that is entirely devoted to upcycled crafting. I feel that to protect our earth for generations to come it is important that we as crafters be able to renew, reuse and recycle--or upcycle as the crafty would say! Earth Day is today and my crafty friends and I are providing you with some inspiration! I LOVE upcycled crafting in all it's forms and this amazing group of 15 artists take my breath away with their creative crafting! I am truly honored to call them my co-hoppers!!! Be sure to take time to go to each blog, view their amazing projects and be inspired to create you own unique upcycled items--AND be sure to leave some love...there are chances to win prizes along the way!
I have created some fun craft containers for my many crafty tools! I am forever looking for inexpensive ways to containerize my craft items and find that I have many very unique items that are often difficult to find a home for. I love containerizing and found it both indulgent and fun to make some one of a kind upcycled containers for my crafting! I hope you enjoy them. These began as cans of soup and beans and a ½ gallon carton of milk and some packing material--look at them now! lovely!

On the 1st crafty gig in April I did an upcycled crafty show where my daughter and I showed the beginning of creating my fun storage supplies for my crafty tools!! I hope you enjoy the show, we certainly did! Included in the images above are the projects started on my show that day!
