Garden Junk Crafts Are The Modern Treasure

By Elsa Noel


Treasure is not always about gold, silver, precious gems, money inside the vault, or an heirloom given to you by your great grandmother. Other people may sometimes consider their cellular phones or tablets their treasured belongings. A treasure could be a person who is very close to your heart.

If you ask someone whether he likes to recycle garbage found inside the trashcan, I doubt that he would say yes. Yes, we are discussing about trash as modern day treasures. If you really care about our Mother Earth, take notice around. You can find scattered garbage in the sea, rivers, canals, and our dumpsites are already full. One good idea is learning some garden junk crafts.

Space is becoming narrower as the population goes up every day. Maybe ten or twenty years, our world will be filled with trash and these trashes are often non-biodegradable meaning it will not decompose by the natural decomposers present in the surroundings. Few of the top garbage problems are rubbers, scrap metals, plastics, and empty bottles.

These dirty, damaged, and scrapped trashes are recyclable and can be transformed into brand new items you never know it could exist. Only a little play of imagination and creativity is needed for it to be done and materialized.

Extraordinary and unique products can be had and place them as decor items at homes and offices. It could be very functional objects for gardens and decorations. Old newspapers can be transformed to newspaper baskets, newspaper handbags, and newspaper pots. Lots of newspapers are blessings because newspaper chairs can be crafted when you tightly group them together.

CD collections belongs to the past since modern people buy music over the internet and listen to them using their computers, laptops, and mobile phones. CD casings are good items to recycle especially if these bother your cabinet space. Turn them into mini-greenhouse for plants. It provides good protection against rain, wind, and strong heat.

Your imagination can bring you to plenty of places and will enable you create things you have not imagined. It will just require a few craft materials from stronghold glue, pair of scissors, rulers, cutter, adhesive tapes, sticks, and strings. After completing the materials, just visit your trashcan and storage rooms to look for possible things that can be salvaged.

People are very busy and it is unlikely for them to give time for recycling. There is a win-win benefit if you choose to recycle. First you can help saving the environment, second you can make your surroundings beautiful and attractive. It can be your new hobby. Third, you can earn a living out of it by selling your junk products to your friends and neighbors. And lastly, you can inspire other people and let them do the same thing. You are changing lives and perception of the people around you as well.

If you are very interested, try enrolling for creative seminars and workshops in your place. Recycling junks is fun and you will get satisfied when the job is done and you are ready to show to the world.
