Taking a cue from Shayne

A few posts ago, fellow DC Mafia-er, Shayne, posted some of her favorite green items from Etsy, and I'm going to copy her, but with a slightly different definition of "green."

Here are some of my favorite recycled, upcycled, reused, repurposed, eco-friendly or otherwise "green" handmade goodies from Etsy.

Gorgeous jewelry from old paper and recycled fabric

Seriously, how cool are these? Toys made from recycled metal and soda caps. She makes whistles too!

Betz White is an all time fave (and a resident of Maryland)! Her recycled sweater crafts are too cute for words!

This beautiful, fresh collage print is reminding me of how much I'm ready for Spring.

Reclaimed mink from a former coat is transformed into this stunning ring.

Pendants from recycled envelopes - how'd those get in here?

Love this! Made from a vintage Russian postage stamp.

Got other fabulously recycled crafts? Post them to the DC Craft Mafia Flickr Group!
