Welcome to Trash it Forward! Please meander over here for a description of what this blog is about.
Here is the first item up for grabs, and the one I’ll use as an example of what I think will be the easiest way to do this. I’ve hosted my photo on an account at flickr.com, which I have used for years, but you are able to upload your photos directly to this site.
A little over two hundred plastic bottle caps are::: clean, dry, anywhere from 1″ – 2″ across, and a mix of colors. Mostly red (Coke addict, and yes, I’ve used the points:), but also some yellow, black, white, green, orange, blue, brown, clear, gold, and purple. My 19 month old wanted some, but do not fear – you get them all for yourself.
Please email me at emily@teaandlaundry.com if you’d like these for your project, and be sure to include the email address that is connected to your Paypal account. I will mail them out within a couple of days and then invoice you for the exact cost of postage – for now, I am happy to trust my fellow upcyclers and ship before reimbursement ;)
Once the caps have been claimed, I will strike through all the text in this post but leave the photo so we can have a nice archive of the kinds of things that have been spoken for.
Happy trash-crafting!
If there are lots of folks interested in these, I’ll save my juice bottle caps – boring white, and bigger.
Great idea. I will watch and also see if I have something that could be saved.
wishing you luck with this it’s a novel idea
