Robbins Sun, 20 Sep 2009 20:46:04 +0000 http://craftingagreenworld.com/?p=2210#comment-36828 While in the waiting room at a doctor's office I saw a craft magazine full of projects for children -- 25 projects made with repurposed organtic material. One that really caught my eye was "The Foamerator" - a created wacky foam snake, using a plastic water bottle and foam -- I thought it would be a neat way to entertain my great grandchildren. I'd like to receive full instructions, if possible, or subscribe to the magazine. (Sorry, I don't remember the name of the magazine.) Your help wil be appreciated. Thanks.

I bought it when i came out. I have tried a number of these projects already. I have a wedding and a baby shower coming up, so this was great since they are both "green". I will be using some of the other projects for Christmas gifts for the ladies I volunteer with. You will LOVE this book. It was so worth it to me. OH and the best part, I didn't have to purchase anything new. It was all in my house. WHOA! I love the book. I bought it when i came out. I have tried a number of these projects already.

I mentioned the shopping bags above because it was one instance of "unclear on the concept." For the most part, though, the magazine uses very few new materials.

I've come across "eco crafts" that need "decorative" materials I feel uncomfortable buying or even bringing home. I'm not in the US so not likely to get one soon, but I'll try to get a sample when I could. Looks great, but I meant to ask if the projects are mostly calling for recycled or natural materials.

I had to do a *facepalm*, though, when they started enthusing about creative ways to reuse a pretty paper shopping bag. That would be a pretty, *disposable* paper shopping bag. It's eco-friendly, you know! .... Right. But generally it was worth the price. (It didn't hurt that I had $5 in Borders Bucks to spend... ;) Anything that raises awareness about creative reuse, is worth supporting, I think.
