Almost 100 per cent of textiles are recyclable (thebalancesmb.com), so if you don’t know what to do with old pieces of fabric and yarn, this is the project for you. Get crafty and crochet them together to create a plant holder. It doesn’t matter if the colours do not match, in fact, the brighter the better in order to create a real retro looking design. Not only does this boast environmental benefits by up cycling material waste, it’s also great for your mental health as crocheting is linked to reduced stress levels and decreased risk of cognitive impairment. Fibre artist and craft blogger, Becka Wright, has all you need to know to make this project.
