We all hear about how we should be helping the planet more. We hear the phrase “REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE” so often, you probably only had to read that first word to know the next two that came after it. But let’s introduce a new word to that. REPAIR. It goes nicely don’t you think? You may think, “But I’m not handy, or a craftsperson, so how am I supposed to repair?” Here are 3 easy ways to repair items and keep them out of landfills.
- Patches
Patches are in -- and the perfect way to give your items a new look! Use them to cover holes, fraying, and
stains, or just to spice up your wardrobe. They are adorable on jackets, jeans, and well, just about
anything!
- Alter
Alter doesn’t have to mean sewing. It is as easy as just grabbing some scissors. Got some old
jeans? Turning them into shorts is a crowd favorite upcycle. You can do so much more than shorten. Cutting them into cute ankle hugger jeans is a staple, and your can even cut them into capris!
- Plastic Bags
Totes are an easy way to eliminate the use of plastic bags. But what do you do with the
inevitable stragglers that make their way into your cupboards? Cutting the bag in a spiral creates one long string of plastic that can be used to crochet, knit, and make lots of fun crafts.
Making your Marc doesn’t have to be hard. It can even be fun. These projects can all be made into fun crafts for the whole family. People can invite friends to participate. Integrating sustainable practices is crucial to REPAIRING our earth.
