Take a look below at some of the beautiful things made from items that would have otherwise been laid to rest forever with your apple cores and kitty litter. Business Card Cases Circuit boards from TV sets, audio components, phones and computers are made into various products, including the business card cases shown here. Each basket is a unique piece of art. Wind Chimes Recycled glass and copper from curbside, industrial and glass artists' waste are fashioned by hand into decorative home and garden items such as these wind chimes. Cotton Rugs Rag rugs are made from used cotton cloth.
Rugs are all different, even if a pattern is repeated.
One rug may incorporate blue fabric from jeans, another blue sheets. Wheel rims and gears were used for this table.
