Last one for now!

Fleur @Fleura (34935) • United Kingdom 2 Feb 22

I’ve been on a run of repairing and upcycling things, but this is the last one for now. Since plastic bags have fallen out of favour, plenty of organisations have been using cotton or canvas bags instead, thinking that they are...

Tell us about the last time you 'repurposed' an item

crazynurse @crazynurse (7482) • United States 25 Jan 08
