There has
been an overwhelming surge of creative ideas surfacing on the internet through
a little site called Pinterest. Anything from crafts and clothing styles to
how-to’s and images of worldly places we desire to travel, it has become a
Euphoria for people to share their interests and likes all in one, organized
location.
The one
category that drew me in at this site was the recycling ideas, with the most
interesting and creative ways of recycling items to use for another purpose.
For instance, taking empty egg cartons and storing holiday ornaments in them,
using vinegar to flush out a clogged dishwasher, saving those bread bag tabs to
label your cords and wires for your electronics, or making gift bags out of
wrapping paper- all ideas of which I borrowed for myself.
Not only
this, I have ‘pinned’ many decorative ideas using such things as window frames,
old photo frames, drawers, crates, bottles and jars. Some of the concepts blew
me away at first glance, not ever fathoming recycling those items for the uses
shown.
We are now in
a creative, thrifty age- where men and women alike are drawn to a more
simplistic and rustic way of transforming things from items laying around.
History does seem to be repeating itself, but in a more imaginative way. And it
seems as though we humans get bored rather quickly with the straightforward
‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ method, that our minds start to recreate and reinvent
the way we do it.
