Upcycling with the Brownies

Creating with kids is the best! These past 2 weeks, I've had a chance to do two more Brownie jewelry workshops with crates and crates of fun junk. Piles of plastic and wooden game pieces, old refrigerator magnets, squirting plastic flowers, little toys, Scrabble tiles, and old greeting cards were torn into by clever hands. The result: pure genius. These gals left the workshops with playful rings, pins, and necklaces.  Check out these fabulous first and second grade upcycled gems.

I look forward to seeing these trashionistas sport their accessories at school. Way to go girls!
