We got thousands of bottle caps and we created a gorgeous kindergarten mural from the caps! We have lots of left over caps and I want to expand it to create garden art! We are going to make a bird house, a bird bath, stepping stones, and garden art!

I make purses out of coffee bags and I get most of my bags from freecycle members who save them for me on a regular basis!

The most abundant item of trash my little group collected was styrofoam (such as packing peanuts) but a close second was plastic bottle caps. So yeah, I'm not surprised they're so common on beaches. We can't recycle lids in my town either, but there is a beauty salon downtown that collects them supposedly for recycling into shampoo bottles (by Aveda, maybe?).Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10800864673813334725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5153858125537119389.post-29876359105723165262009-05-10T13:30:00.000-07:002009-05-10T13:30:00.000-07:00This is the coolest thing ever.

I've been saving the pull tabs from the inside of the soy cartons, they have a ring and a solid disk attached to each other. They're white too. They're just the right size to slip around a finger though. How about those prescription pill bottles? They're orange, and I have lots of those...fingerstothebonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09410312376236327398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5153858125537119389.post-86637797864973061692009-05-05T22:04:00.000-07:002009-05-05T22:04:00.000-07:00Howdy, folks!

And thank you for all the bottle cap love - if you live in the PDX area, and want to join in the fun and save me bottle caps, just drop me an e-mail at sparky at eyesaflame dot com and I will make arrangements to pick them up from you. Or, if you live outside of Portland, I can reimburse you for postage!
