I disagree with the sandwich holder, and aquarium ideas! I doubt this plastic is food safe, and most likely leachates would harm the fish.

This is really COOL AND easy. How many times have I ruined a pair of ear buds...they get torn up in my bag, or I fell asleep on them...? Why not give the wires hama (Perler) bead covers? AND it looks like a cool necklace too! Protection and style for your electronic music wires.

This is not really "recycling"...but its a great use for all those left over ironing beads!

This is interesting because it describes how using paper bags instead of plastic is not good for the environment either. Also, the shocking prices of reusable high designer tote bags.

I will make my own, or continue to use those colorfully designed barrel shaped Trader Joe ones that only cost $1.99 each.

Cancer causing ones. If plastic melts it gives off toxins.... however...to what degree I do not know. I have baked, fried, and boiled plastics....and i am taking chances....I try not to get too carried away. If plastic burns...its REALLY bad (dangerous) always have windows open, and fans running.
