#30daysofreuse day 20- everything has potential! 

Just ask 1st-5th graders at Madrona Elementary today. They took campus and company cast-offs we provided to tinker and make thinga-ma-whos-it’s and gig-a-ma-blasts (which where really just their imaginations run wild).  

We believe that the ordinary inspired the extraordinary

Scraps…

#30daysofreuse day 19 is about the cardboard scraps.

We make ours into letters like these.

For Earth Week we are taking our reuse show on the road to Redwood Middle school  (pictured here), Medrona Elementary and Thousand Oaks High School for cardboard creativity and more during lunch!

Thinking outside the box is cool!

Material of the Week

Happy Monday!

We look forward to spending creative time with you this week. Our Material of the Week is “Transparancy Pages”

We can’t wait to see what they become!

Wow!

#30daysofreuse day 13 gets corky! 

Keep your wine corks for all kinds of crafty fun. Make cork animals, a cork board or game pieces for play. They work great as-is or cut into smaller pieces. Go with where your imagination guides you. 

These few corks became a giraffe in an African habitat.

Reuse it!

It’s #30daysofreuse day 12 and we want to call your attention to stamps. 

They come on most of your mail and they often have something to say! Hold onto them as you get them and USE them as a conversation piece at the dinner table; when were stamps invented and how much of the world actively uses them? 

SAVE them for reuse in art, or turn them into a crafty gift tag. Stamps are super cool and collectible too! Check out our reuse ideas this month on instagram @createstudio

#30daysofreuse Day 8

Let’s rethink our metals! This sweet steamer basket owl was one of many awesome owl creations at our Pinspired Night last night and it serves as another reminder that reuse has boundless benefits. 

An cast off steamer basket got an updo to become a friendly garden owl who will no doubt see many outdoor seasons to come.

We have wonderful resources for our needs and pleasures right under our noses every day. They may just require an open minded view of them once their first task is done.
