Craft Projects

This guide will provide you with ideas for crafts you can make with materials you likely already have around your home! Most primarily use recycled materials and common tools such as a ruler and scissors. Explore the tabs above or click the links below for craft ideas and instructions. (Note that certain projects* appear under more than one material type if they are to be made with either or both materials.) Also check out the tab More Ideas for Creative Recycling for topical books available at SSPL.
