Making jewelry and PLARN!

As part of a poverty alleviation project I've started in the West Bank, I've been learning some new crafty ways! I started crocheting with Plarn, which is plastic yarn made from plastic shopping bags! It's been a fun ride! I also just learned to wrap sea glass and make jewelry! Can you say FUN?


Green Creations: West Bank has hired 2 ladies for a 3 month trial period. We're hoping to have product to sell in time for Christmas gift-giving! These ladies are working hard right along with me! I'll share a few samples of things we've created!

If you've got any wonderful ideas about creative ways to upcycle trash, please feel free to share! I'd love to hear from you!
