It’s Recycle Week this week in the UK (and it might be elsewhere in the world too) so I thought I would focus todays posts on some people who use recycled (or upcycled) materials in making some cute things!

Just look at the vibrant colours in these beautiful greetings cards from Caroline Saul. You’d never guess that they were once milk bottles would you?

This bracelet is smart, funky and made from tyres! Yep really! Lisa Marie McCartney makes these and I think I want one!

This cushion, that is made from felted wool jumpers, looks very snuggly. Get it from Pants and Paper.

These earrings are brilliant and are made from fused plastic bags – great way to use up bags if they have holes in them! Get these from Yumstie Tree.
