I found a brilliant site which has a whole bunch of photo's with ideas for recycling - anything.
These are some of the things I like :)
Using pennies / cents for wall / floor decoration...
I have loads of 1c and 2c coins which are no longer in circulation. Reckon I've finally found a use for them...!
Using wooden pallets...
... old corks...
... jars as herb planters in a kitchen...
