My old buddy Rob could take a jar (plastic or glass, it didn't matter) and turn it into something I'd pay for. Rob also drank a lot of Tang. I wonder if that was the secret.

A Recycled Bird Feeder
Here's a super-easy project to see if it helps you catch the recycling-old-into-useful-stuff bug. This project takes you through the process of turning an old two-liter jug into a bird feeder. I'm fairly certain I could do this without hurting myself and hating the birds of the world for being hungry.

Trash to Treasure Makeovers
OK, time for more inspiration. And remember, this isn't necessarily meant for you to buy new stuff. There might be old items hanging around your home that you can make into treasures.

Maybe you have old LPs hanging around but you don't listen to them because, you know, records are big, bulky and less convenient than digital files. Here's an overview of your options to make them digital.
