Hello hello creative needleworkers

This week I am getting active around here, I have had many difficulties in the connection at home, however, I want to share everything I am doing at home to produce and support me economically.

I am giving to the bags or packaging of fried foods, usually these packages go to the trash, they are discarded, crumpled, broken accumulating a lot of waste.

Because of their bright and flashy colors, once discarded in parks or rivers, they attract animals, who innocently consume this material, which in a few hours causes their death by asphyxiation.

On the other hand, it is a material, flammable when exposed to the sun, presenting an unlimited time to decompose over time. It is one of the most toxic wastes in existence.
Due to this situation I wanted to make a significant and decorative contribution, support me in the qualities of this material to extend its useful life, as well as, make it less harmful, more friendly and promote its collection.

A cartridge case with useful material.
For more than 5 years I have been collecting these packages and making these cartridge cases, which can be used for cosmetic holders, pencil holders, purse, pill box and others.
Depending on the size of the packaging, it can be used for different purposes. There are some XXL packages and I use them to put the mini laptop and notebooks.
People who know that I make these cases also collect them and keep them for me, I have a lot of them at home.

The elaboration of these articles allows me an economic gain, because their transformation is unique and many people want to have them, for personal use or to give them as gifts on special occasions.
