Earth Day, Craft Show and Recycled Items

Happy Earth Day! My college held a craft show type event for Earth Day so I decided to sell some of my crafts in it. I had fun doing it. It was busier than I thought it'd be and reminded me of a craft show I did at Esperanza last summer. One of my cards sold right away. It was a newer card and I didn't have the chance to get a photo of it. I collaged photos from a magazine I had from the 1950s. That was the only thing that sold, but I got lots of admirers and comments which was nice. It was also fun to see what other crafts and recycled items people were selling.

Since it's Earth Day, I thought I'd post some items I have in my Recycled Items.

I have a couple movie poster recycled journals. I want to make more like these in the future:

Hope Floats Movie Upcycled Journal



Center Stage Movie Upcycled Journal



I have some items made out of recycled books. The "I Am a Little Duck" is the first item I sold on Etsy:

I Am a Little Animal Upcycled Journal



Upcycled Swan Flyaway Journal



These are some items I made with vintage items, from magazines:

Best Wishes Red Birthday Greeting Card



Vintage Girl Coptic Bound Book



These items are altered journals. I started with an old journal that was already bound and redid the covers:

Asian Print Mini Upcycled Journal



Altered Octopus Spiral Journal

Vintage Valentine Greeting Card Sale

I sold this Vintage Valentine Greeting Card:



I think this is the first Valentine's Day item I've sold. I'm also giving away two greeting cards in my Valentine's Day giveaway.

Earth Day

Today is Earth Day. Earth Day is an event held worldwide to show support for environmental protection. I have some upcycled items in my shop. Upcycling means I am taking an item no longer needed or wanted and using it to make new items. Upcycling items is great for the envrionment because you are not using new materials.
