Great Recycling

I’ve been thinking about handmade recycled goods and I’ve searched Etsy.com and found these great recycled pieces. I was looking for elegant items that are made from materials that really weren’t useful before the new piece was created.

Yogurt Container to Fascinator Base

We are always eating yogurt that comes in these plastic containers that are not recyclable in Philadelphia because they are made of #5 plastic (polypropylene). I needed to make rigid domed bases for my feather fascinators and I invented this way of making bases from the containers. Here I will show you how to use some of the plastic from your empty yogurt container to make a domed base for your crafty crafting.

Step 1: Gather Supplies.

  • 16 oz Yogurt Container(s)
  • 3 inch paper circle
  • Scissors
  • Pliers
  • Permanent Marker
  • Stapler with Staples
