Your theme for April is: Eco-crafting!: Let's honor Earth Day this month by doing some recycling, upcycling and eco-friendly crafting. What does that mean? Well, it can mean many different things, maybe you can repurpose and revamp something that you purchased at a thrift store, or you could make something from recycled materials. Perhaps you could make a nature inspired piece of art or craft with materials that have been produced sustainably.
Need some inspiration?

I am on board! I haven't a clue what I am going to make since making a gift from "recycled materials" is a new concept (I recycle for myself!), but I will come up with something!
I totally love this idea, Sarah. I am 100% behind you!
