This is how my little Etsy shop "Eco-Friendly Freckles" came to be. I take aluminum soup cans and transform them into attractive works of art that are functional and affordable.

You've inspired me to investigate further exactly what happens with fabric once it has been put in the recycling bank. I understand that it is shredded and used again but it would be good to know the step by step process. Watch this space! Hi Layla

Thank you for your lovely comment. You’ve inspired me to investigate further exactly what happens with fabric once it has been put in the recycling bank. I understand that it is shredded and used again but it would be good to know the step by step process. Watch this space!

You are so lucky to have charity shops and recycling banks! None in Slovenia! Older experienced crafters or seamstresses may offer scraps of material or such, and I'm thinking to maybe even ask a charity that gives clothes to those who need them (for free) to maybe give us a call if/when they have stuff to throw away? (They don't have enough space for a recycling bank!) It might get too overwhelming re: space though.. Would be great to read more about what actually happends with fabric from recycling banks.. :) LOVE your tips!
