Re-using, recycling, repurposing & recrafting blogstravaganza!
 

This is a selection of blogs I like – they’re mainly repurposing and recycle-craft themed… there are a few general craft blogs there too, which I’ve included because nowadays crafting and repurposing almost go hand in hand – and it’s very easy to substitute recycled materials for shop bought in most of the projects.

Most of these blogs are themselves a fantastic source of links to other blogs, really useful websites and words of wisdom - Enjoy :D

Cut the craft / crafty b****rds blog - NOTE: this link gets broken by the bad language filter because there's a bold word in there - it's a great blog though (the only boldness is in the name), so in order to view it, you'll have to copy and paste the URL, adding in the bold word manually!!

Hiya Cascade35, thanks for the link. Great recipes there. I'm living on €100 p.w. at the minute (or trying to) so it'll be invaluable and my sonny boy moves into digs at the weekend so it'll be invaluable to him too. Little lifesaver you. Cheers.

Hello. How about ad some more nice links?

You may consider this as friendly "bump" cause I'm interested in new and up-to-date sites, reviews, hacks and etc.

Personally I have recently found a fresh site with reviews on cool stuff for garden and craft.
Here it is: https://toolsngoods.com/
