Eco Friendly Can someone give me websites for eco friendly crafts?

Question by xxxAnime-Crazyxxx: Can someone give me websites for eco friendly crafts?
I’m looking for a eco friendly craft that my club can do. I’m looking for websites that would list some craft ideas with pictures, so that we’ll be able to see the final product of it. And it would be much appreciated if the projects wouldn’t be time consuming. Thanks!

Recycling craft materials is the easiest way to be Eco-friendly while crafting.

For example, a milk carton birdhouse. It’s a craft, that recycles materials, and furthermore helps the earth by helping the birds. These can be decorated in many ways, not just how the one here is shown:

Here’s another one. Make a Solar Lamp. It’s pretty and useful, take a look:

Here are some great things you can make from recycled paper, like newspapers, magazines, and even toilet paper rolls:

Have any tin cans from soups, coffee, tuna, cat food, etc? Have a restaurant nearby (they often throw out these cans every day, you could ask for them.) Check out what you can make!

Drink soda? Keep the bottles. Check out what you can make with the bottoms:

And a slice from the middle can make this fun bracelet:
