Eco Chic Craftacular was greentastic!

Upcycle. Biodiesel. E-Waste. Greenwashing. Greenovate. Craftacular.

Eco-friendly word hybridization is getting out of hand! Despite that, the craft hybridization phenomenon is all the rage.

At the Eco Chic Craftacular this weekend, crafters brought all types of "hybrids" to sell. Ragged pairs of pants, silk ties, belts and old sheets were upcycled into nifty bags. Old teapots were turned into terrariums and broken watches turned into necklaces.

Here are a few of my "hybrids."



Wine corks made into trivets, secondhand onesies turned into whimsical baby gifts, cat toys made with fabric scraps and organic cat nip, gift tags made from old greeting cards, and desk organizers made from obsolete floppy disks.

What other crafty hybrids have you seen lately?
