All the while, you will be saving Earth and saving GREEN. Use reusable bandanas, scarves, dishtowels, shopping bags, baskets, containers and other creative options to package up your precious presents. Don't forget kids art work, music sheets, newspaper, vintage ads, brown paper bag etc.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Try covering a box in momentos and photos that pertain to a friend. Items from their favorite places or a trip you had together. Adorn it with Moms buttons, junk jewelry and pictures of her kids. Think out of the box and into the person!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Not so creative? Use old maps, recycled wrap, food boxes, food storage boxes, covered baking pans, or cans. Basically the sky is the limit. Draw on it, cover it or just add a bow.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Not only are we sad to see our kids grow up, but there is basically few places to give away old cribs. I always try to give things away on freecycle or to the town swap, but what if you don't have these outlets or no one wants to take it off your hands. Mom's today are fearful of used cribs as they may have a recall or be unsafe.<br />
<br />
So, what can you do with those old cribs to keep them from landing in a landfill? Upcycle.<br />
<br />
Here is a fun group of recycle and refashion ideas for old cribs and playpens that won't make you or your baby cry!<br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><b><i></i></b></span>Jeans. We all have them. We outgrow them and we wear them out. We now have solutions.<br />
<br />
That's right, we have collected a pocketful of unique ideas for upcycling and repurposing those blue jeans and making something new, affordable and fashionable! There are a slew of patterns out there for vests, skirts, even slippers. But if you don't want to wear the jeans you sure can find other fun solutions to green the blue.<br />
<br />
Not only are the ideas we have collected great for teens, but there are a few that you will find fit for the rest of the family and that includes the family pet and your child's much loved doll!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><b><br />
