Before tossing out shopping bags, see if you can salvage any pieces. This Victoria's Secret bag has had it's fair share of being recycled/reused. I was able to salvage the ribbon and it will be perfect to use for crafting!

Sprucing Up Cheap Greeting Cards - open card with the string of paper Jack 'O Lanterns
Sprucing Up Cheap Greeting CardsMany of the the 3D and pop-up style greeting cards start with a base price of around $7. My mum and I buy budget cards (2 for $1) and spruce them up. Here, we've created paper pumpkins, added them to a thick line of string, then glued it on the inside of the card.

A decorative chalkboard with a bow.
Buy Cheap and Revamp Into Your StyleI bought this chalkboard during last year's 90% Christmas sale at Target for only 30 cents (originally $3). I changed up the original bow that I did not like (which was a simple thin red bow) into this burlap bow. Now the chalkboard looks as if it was more expensive and looks nicer.

Teach Kids to Use Sticker Sheet Scraps - sticker sheet after star stickers used up
Teach Kids to Use Sticker Sheet ScrapsMy child loves glittery stickers, glue, or pens! Even though there are no more shiny glitter stars - you could teach your child that, the sticker sheets are still useable and not to waste scraps that can be used.

Use Old Box or Sheet Protector to Collect Craft Scraps - paper and plastic scraps in sheet protector and shallow cardboard box
Use Old Box or Sheet Protector to Collect Craft ScrapsAfter every craft or scrapbook project, I used to have a pile of trash on the table. I hate dragging my kitchen trashcan into my craft corner and I don't have room for one there either. Instead, I started keeping a sheet protector and an old box in my craft area to hold all of my trash scraps. My is area so much neater!

Artificial fall leaves placed on napkin dispensers.
Spice Up Napkin Holders with Fall Craft LeavesI wanted to spice up our normally solid black napkin holders and used fabric craft leaves to do it. If the napkin holders you are using have holes in the design, it's easy to add leaves. Simply stick the stems into the sides along the bottom and attach with zip ties that match your holder.

Ecobag Turned into a Coloring Apron - young boy wearing the apron
Ecobag Turned into a Coloring ApronThis craft is made from a white ecobag from the grocery. My brother made it himself as a gift to my son. The picture was printed into the bag first and then he transformed it into an apron which my kid enjoyed coloring and at the same time he can use it as he helps me in the kitchen.

Salvaging Hardware from Junk - lace up boots
Salvaging Hardware from JunkMost things eventually fall apart, but not all at the same time. Here, two pairs of my boots became so worn out, they were too dangerous for wear. They were not suitable for donation, however, the silver hardware and laces were still like new. I removed them to use in crafts and sewing projects.
