Recycle, Re-Purpose and Reinvent!

Hi everybody!
I came across this awesome challenge blog that encourages us to be eco-friendly!

Recycle, Repurpose and Reinvent - Anything Goes!

This is an awesome place to share your creations and ideas; you can make anything you want, the sky's the limit!

Mary's CALORIE AND GUILT FREE Chocolates

Yup, you read it right...I found a way to make chocolate guilt free.  

I really like how this one turned out.  It looks like it has a rock sugar edge :)

Dark chocolate and orange bon bon - yum!

Ingredients:

1.  Recycled chocolate box

2. Left over mini cupcake liners

3. Scraps of ribbons pulled from old barrettes and left overs too short to make bows

4. Strand of glass beads from a broken necklace

5. Mini foam balls left over from a Christmas project

OK, so I took a mini foam ball and wrapped it in ribbon and secured it with sewing pins.  I made ribbon flowers on the bon-bon tops and secured with more pins.  I used the beads as sprinkles.  I just put each bon-bon in a mini cupcake liner and before you know it, I have a box of sweets :)

I really had fun with this one!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you join in on all the eco-friendly fun :)

peace and love,

Mary xoxo
Oops...totally forgot about the Bonus question.
What's the strangest thing you have been hoarding for the purpose of using it in your art and how do you plan to use it?

Guitar picks.  Yup.  Clear, plastic guitar picks.  I feel a mosaic coming.... :)
