I have painted my old sandels.

You are really smart for doing such thing. I always try to see other use of old things and stuff before throwing. I do recycle things that are reusable and make new things from old ones. Bright idea

Some stuffs that I’ve put in my “oldies” somewhat are good ways to keep good memories so I don’t usually throw everything away instead I enhanced them or tweaked them and turn them into new things such as altering a sleeve to a shirt, making some do it yourself accessories, or making a bag out of old denim jeans. I kind of like the fact that not only I am recycling; I am saving my money because I have made new things out of old garments.
