The best Valentine gifts are not bought in stores but are the ones that are homemade and come straight from the heart and for the bracelet straight from the garbage. Whether you make a bracelet for that special Valentine or one for each of your friends, recipients will be touched that you took the time to give them a handmade gift.
Terracycle offers this one of a kind unique bracelet pattern made from Kraft cheese wrappers. With simple, do-it-yourself instructions available for download here: bit.ly/ValentineBraceletDIY, these bracelets are sure to be a hit with children of all ages while also educating them on the importance of recycling and upcycling. You can also check out this video for step-by-step instructions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1iIq1U9PEw&feature=youtu.be
The DIY bracelets can also be seen in Trash Tycoon, Facebook’s first upcycling game. Players collect trash that they can then upcycle into DIYs, such as the jewelry. The game reiterates the idea that there is no such thing as waste, and players can earn real-life money for charity during play.
Additionally, community groups in the Milwaukee area can continue collecting and sending in non-recyclables even after Valentine’s Day. Signing up on the website,www.terracycle.com, and sending in trash for free is easy.
