Did you know that Earth Day and Easter fall on the same weekend this year? That means little Easter baskets of candy will be showing up in homes all over the country.
Instead of tossing those wrappers in the trash, demonstrate your commitment to celebrate Earth Day EVERY day by fashioning your very own upcycled accessories to spruce up your holiday outfit!
The “trashy” folks over at TerraCycle are always looking for ways to keep waste out of the landfill by designing easy DIY projects that make reuse and recycling fun.
In this project they’ll show you how to dress up your Sunday best with this fun candy wrapper project. Start collecting those candy and gum wrappers and you’ll turn your Sour Patch into a sweet treat!
If you find yourself with more candy wrappers than you can upcycle on your own, sign up for TerraCycle’s candy wrapper Brigade. They’ll not only upcycle them into new products, but will also donate money to your favorite charity.
