Carleyys Blog Round Up - September 20th

Thanks for checking back in to my blog round up!  I have been searching the internets for fun projects and inspiration.

I have so many great re-use projects in this round up.  This week I challenge you to re-use an old pen in a beautiful and unique way.

Step 1 Re-Use

Step out of the tub and onto 175 wine corks.  Ask the waiter at the next restaurant you go to if they have any wine bottle corks from that night and save up to create this cool re-use bath mat. Found via Craftynest.

Store your change in this recycled plastic bottle change purse. Throw this environmentally friendly accessory into your bag. What a great conversation starter!

I've been saving wine corks for awhile and the bath mat is a great idea! I have young kids who drink lots of milk which means lots of big plastic milk jugs thrown out - any ideas on ways to upcycle them?

Wow! I sooo want to make that pen vase just for the sake of it now, I've done a fair bit of pen morfing in science over the bunsen burners but nothing that epic.
