What is creative reuse?
Creative reuse is the process of taking used or recycled materials and turning them into works of art, home decoration, utilitarian objects, jewelry, and other useful or pleasing items. 

Why creative reuse?
   - creative something of value
   - reduce waste
   - conserve natural resources
   -  save money

art + conservation
Creative reuse demonstrates that artistic creativity and conservation can go hand in hand - using all manner of unwanted materials.  Junk has value for those who are willing to look for the possibilities.  Creative reuse is an effective response to ever-filling landfills, overproduction, and diminishing natural resources.
