Instead of spending a ton of money at the craft store, this post is intended to help you enjoy your craft time and save money doing it. Just get ready to grab something from the recycle bin and try making some {or all!} of these 14 easy recycled crafts.

1. Make a unique and fun game of checkers with old bottle caps. And better yet, this version of checkers is travel-ready, so be sure and make it before your next road trip with the kids!

2. Don’t throw those old magazines in the recycle bin just yet! You can use some of the pages to create an adorable ombre picture frame like this one.

 

3. Save up those tin cans so that you can make some awesome lanterns for your outdoor space.

 

4. Grab your empty water bottles and turn them into fun flowers. This is a great craft for the kids.

 

5. In another fun craft idea for the kids, you can save your milk jug lids. With a little paint and some craft eyes, they become cute ladybugs perfect for the garden or for play.

 

6. Recycle those old CDs into coasters, they’re perfect for your morning cup of tea.

 

7. Empty Capri Sun drink pouches make an eye-catching and durable tote perfect for your next day at the beach.

8. From an old cardboard box, you can make a cool solar oven that actually works. It’s lots of fun for the kids on a hot day! This one is melting crayon pieces into new crayons.

10. Recycle your used cereal boxes into one-of-a-kind bookmarks. Love this idea!

 

11. Would you have thought of making tulips out of egg cartons, tissue paper and pipe cleaners? This is a bouquet that will last for years.

 

12. This is a genius idea! Make a cell phone charging station from an empty lotion bottle. I need this!

 

13. Bring out your inner Bat Man with a bat mask made from a recycled milk jug.

 

14. Those empty toilet paper rolls are for the birds. Literally!
