Upcycling Projects

Reusable Bags

If you know basic sewing you can turn your old cat/dog food bags into new reusable bags!

Mug Planter

Instead of throwing old mugs away that you don’t use anymore, how about making them a new home for some plants! Your plants will love it and so will the Earth!

Newspaper Machines

Sidney Sun-Telegraph, Sidney Public Library, and KSB partnered together to bring a fundraising project to the schools. Sidney, Potter-Dix, Creek Valley, and Leyton schools decorated old newspaper machines! Click the link below for more details!

Clovers

The kids at South Elementary enjoyed making 4 leaf clovers out of old cereal boxes! All the scraps were saved and recycled as well!

Snowmen

KSB made snowmen from cereal boxes with the South Elementary Cool Kids Club!

Turkeys

The Central Elementary preschoolers had a blast making turkeys out of cans, plastic, and toilet paper tubes!

Gazebo

This was sent in from Lazy S Ranch. They took an old grain bin and tuned it into a beautiful gazebo for their fireplace!

Jack-o-lanterns

KSB got together with the kids at South Elementary to make spooky jack-o-lanterns from milk jugs!

Planter

This fun upcycling project was sent in from our president, Sue. She took an old ceiling light down and kept the shade. The bottle caps are for drainage and the crystals and beads were leftover from a wedding. Such a neat idea!
