EVERYTHING COUNTS. Recovering the sofa, rescuing wood tables,
and recycling regular household containers for storage all help keep our
landfills from filling with unwanted debris. When did helping the earth become
so chic? This year, CreatingHomeDecor.com is holding a contest called
"Trash To Treasure" challenging crafters and do-it-yourself decorators
to show their best projects where they primarily use recycled or repurposed
materials to make home décor. Visitors to the site can enter their own project
design, until April 22—Earth Day, in a contest to win a prize package from
several craft and decorating product manufacturers.
Usually, Earth Day events are geared around energy conservation, clean water,
and more naturalist and environmentalist centered activities. Our goal is to
bring awareness, to a different segment of consumers, that there are more
activities than those that help the earth. By recycling used or discarded
materials to make our home décor, we save energy and resources by not having
new furniture manufactured, and help keep unwanted debris from collecting in
landfills. We want to show that crafters and do-it-yourself decorators really
can make a difference and share ideas to encourage repurposing materials in
decorating. And, because there is nothing quite as satisfying as something made
with your own two hands, Kelley will publish several project ideas on creating
beautiful home furnishings using recycled materials.
