Reduce Reuse Upcycle: Thanksgiving Leftovers

No, I'm not talking about these leftovers


I'm talking about all of the cans, cartons and paper bags sitting in your trash can or your recycle bin from all of your Thanksgiving preparation. Before you toss them out, consider reducing the bulk and re-using them to kick off the next holiday! Here are some ideas for some Christmas crafts and gifts using what might otherwise be trashed:

soup or vegetable cans...
