Recycling, Reusing, or Repurposing materials into crafty products is what Cindy (a.k.a Recycle Cindy) from Myrecycledbags.com, is all about. Her speciality? remarkably stylish and unique recycled purses, bags and accessories.
Cindy is behind eco-friendly blog site that is part of a large and established blogging network that is dedicated to craft culture and environmentally friendly re-design.
As a dedicated green crafter, Cindy encourages people to freely use her blog info and patterns as a platform to learn and share.
Myrecycledbags.com provides readers with free patterns for recycle craft so as to encourage others to be proactive about recycle crafting.
According to Cindy, it was mainly the lack of information and resources available to people that encouraged Cindy to start the site. “There wasn’t much information out there on the process” of recycling when she set it up, she says. “Through trial and erron I began to create many different projects using plastic bags, vcr tape, cassette tape, denim, and other recycled materials.” Clearly she was on a roll.
The Cassette tape crochet is a signature project that Cindy walks through step by step. Using the magical magnetic ribbon as her material, she shows you how to craft
While Cindy’s subject focus is recycle craft she injects deeply personal tone to every post. And javing recently being diagnosed with breast cancer, she also offers readers another glimpse into her personality by sharing with them her battle with breast cancer.
Cindy is an inspirational character and clearly a strong element of the online crafts community. Her spirit and motivation to do something different online precedes any more recent trend towards enviro crafting. We’d love to see much more cassette crochet out there, so get those needles out, girls
