"What am I going to do with my pile of old t-shirts? I'm going to wear them. The ones that are now retired are mostly used already. I've made bracelets, though not with jewels as shown here, children's clothes and pj's, and quilts beyond belief! It certainly is fun to be creative with something everyone has and most throw away! Thanks for more ideas."

"My current favorite cheap craft is quilted plastic shopping bags. I've also made some fancier zipper bags from the same materials- discarded plastic shopping bags."

"I've used 2-liter bottles for yarn, but I cut the bottoms off instead of around the neck. It takes a wee bit of effort to thread the loose yarn end through the neck of the bottle, but I ofn't have that split where the bottle straightens out. They stand up nicely in little paper gift bags, so I can change colors easily. This really only works with the pull-skeins that unwind from the center."
