1000 Ideas for Creative Reuse: Call for Entries

Published October 14, 2008 @ 04:03PM PT

You say creative reuse, I say upcycling -- what we both mean is taking something headed for the trash heap and transforming it into something new, more useful, more valuable, and maybe even cooler. In the process, old stuff that might otherwise be decomposing into methane in a landfill is given new life, and demand for new stuff made in fossil-fuel powered factories from virgin resources (hopefully) ticks downward.

Here's an opportunity to show your best creative reuse idea off to the world. Garth of the Extreme Craft blog is writing a book and has put out a call for entries:

I'll be writing 1000 Ideas for Creative Reuse, a book filled with 1000 (you read right) examples of craft, art and design made out of repurposed, reused and recycled materials. The book will be bristling with amazing contributions from artists and crafters around the world. What do you make out of reused stuff? I want to hear about it!

I want to hear about it, too! Dish up your great upcycling ideas in the comments.
