OK..this is more of a craft idea than a repurpose one but it uses mostly old stuff and is a great talking point with everyone who sees it.

Step 1- Capture a fairy. They are readily found at the end of the garden or in pound shops.
*It should be noted at this point that garden fairies are a protected species and can only be held captive for a maximun of one week. They should then be released back into the wild in accordance with the Wildlife Act 1954.
....By the way, if you should capture a leprechaun hang on to it as they are worth money.

Step two. You will need a jam jar or coffee jar, a piece of scrap material, a piece of cord (here I used a handle from a posh paper carrier bag)

Step Three. Type up and print this poem. (I did not write it-not that talented)

Step four. Pay your ESB bill and shred it. (Do not use a telephone bill as there is no heat in those and the noise keeps the fairies awake)

Place a bit of your shreddings in bottom of jar. Cut out poem and insert into jar. VERY carefully place the fairy into the jar. Place the circle of fabric over the top and secure with your cord....now...make a wish
