    Another trip down memory lane, but we didn't call it recycling we just made do. Any one remember using the rectangular IBM cards and folding one end in a triangular shape and making a wreath. We spray painted those a pale blue!

    THANK YOU. I now have an almost free craft for my residents {we need the spray paint} but people donate magazines all the time.

    You can spray paint them silver, just like the olden days.
