If you are interested in trying out creative reuse, but you are not sure what material to collect, wine corks are a great place to start. My bath mat made from wine corks has consistently been one of the most popular projects on my blog.

These goal setting projects involve making something, which should appeal to all of you who love to make things. 

So you have a box of trophies and you no longer have sentimental attachment to them, or you just need to make space. What can you do with them? Find out ways they can be reused as trophies (the best option) as well as some creative projects if you want to transform them into new home decor items such as coat hooks or a dessert tray.

My latest Trashmagination obsession is weaving plastic bags into colorful mats on my floor loom. This project has reinforced three Trashmagination ideas:

1) When you learn how to make things with non-trash materials, chances are high that you can use trash materials instead.

2) Ask for help and trust the universe will bring you what you need.

3) You don't have to know exactly how something will turn out before you get started.
