Turn your trash into treasure at Artscape

The Wailers Band toddler t-shirt by Sweet Peptia, You ComPlate Me friendship necklaces by The Broken Plate.

Bring your old T-shirts to Artscape this weekend. Local crafter Sweet Pepita, who makes one-of-a-kind clothing from recycled and organic fabrics, will be waiting with open arms to take them off of your hands and use them in future projects.

If you have any dishes you no longer need (even if they're a little bashed up) bring them along too. The Broken Plate Pendant Company will take whatever you've got and turn it into unquestionably gorgeous jewelry.

Both vendors will be located in the DIY section.

I like the idea of taking broken plate pieces into jewelry. I'm working on a lens for turning your junk into magnets and that's just sparked my idea. Awesome.

About the bloggers

Tim Wheeler reports on the environment and Chesapeake Bay. A native of West Virginia, he has focused mainly on Maryland's environment since moving here in 1983. Along the way, he's crewed aboard a skipjack in the bay, canoed under city streets up the Jones Fall from the Inner Harbor, and gone deep underground in a western Maryland coal mine. He loves seafood, rambles in the country and good stories. He hopes to share some here.

Contributor Christy Zuccarini has been blogging about the local DIY craft scene for a year for Baltimoresun.com. She brings her pespective on all things handmade to B'More Green, where she will highlight projects you can do yourself as well as crafters who are integrating sustainable methods and materials.
