What to do with sticky labels and tags?


Even when you buy fruit without packaging you usually get a sticky label with it. What's with that? AND... even when you do your best to avoid packaging and purchase something without it you ALWAYS get a tag or two or another sticky label. Now, that we THINK before we toss anything into the TRASH we have been wondering what to do with these ODD bits of things! "Have you thought about making a collage out of them?", a friend suggested. So that's exactly what we've done. I took an old picture and frame I had stored in the garage, flipped it over so I have a nice white background board, tacked it into the wall near the kitchen, and for convenience- balanced a glue stick on top of two tacks in the upper left corner and viola, our collage collection is already growing while our garbage problems are shrinking. The kids love adding to it. Our new LABELS and TAGS collage. I can't wait to see what it looks like in a YEAR :)
