How to Recycle Bottle Lids into Cute Critters

Save those caps! Recycle the lids from your plastic water, juice and soda bottles and create adorable critters. Recycled gifts don't have to look like junk - watch this video from Heidi Borchers and learn how to recycle bottle lids into cute critters. Make a bunch and trade them with friends!

Lids aren't the only recycled material used in this fun and easy project. You can also use empty cereal boxes, discarded wire and fabric scraps. Don't forget the glue and craft foam, two materials that add dimension and fun to the project! These are summer bugs you won't have to hide from!
