Recycle, Upcycle and Reuse

Hello crafty friends!

Are you a recycler, an upcycler or a reuser?

I definitely am and today I'm going to show you a great

upcycling project that I've been working on.

Someone on my Buy Nothing Group offered two

large bags full of used Amazon mailers.
I jumped right on that offer and brought them home,

I already have one full bag in my craft room, so now

I have 3 big bags full.

You might ask,

What in heaven's name are you going to do with them? 

The answer is to reuse them.

My daughter and daughter in law have started a business.

They will need padded envelopes to mail out some of their items.

So I'm making them some cute mailers.

Here are a few of the mailers I covered with 

wrapping paper.  It's easy and very inexpensive

to make these and no one knows they are

old reused mailers.

Here are a few of them that I covered with 

scrapbook paper that I had in my stash that I will 

probably never use.

From one Amazon mailer, I can get 2 - 4 "new" mailers,

depending on the size of the mailer.

All they'll need to do is put a label on the front with an

address and return address, put their item inside,

pull off the double sided tape backing and seal it up.

Now they are ready to mail it.
If you are interested in how these are made,

here is a video showing how it's done.

Easy peasy.

If you are interested in what my girls are 

creating, follow the link below and it

will take you to their website.
They are adding more to their site often,

so be sure to check back at another time.

I'm really proud of what they are doing,

guess the creative gene runs in the family.

The name of their business is 
Clumsy Cloud Gifts

Thank you for stopping in today to

Please come again.

Until then,

recycle, upcycle and reuse!
