Recycle Your Old Shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
In this age of awareness and wanting to recycle or reuse as many items that we can,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], this question arises. What can I do with my old shoes? Most recycling centers will not take old shoes. Shoes are generally made from multiple components which need to be handled differently in the recycling process.
I will offer some ideas for those old shoes laying around your closet floor or under your bed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Keeping old shoes out of landfills and finding new ways to use them is the "green" thing to do,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. You might be surprised at some of the ideas that I have come across to recycle or re-purpose your old shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
You can have them bronzed and do a few different things with them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Some like to just keep them separate and sit on a dresser,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. You can have them mounted on a block of wood or marble,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. A frame can be added with a picture of the child for an enhanced look,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
I've also seen these done as a pair of bookends. That idea would be so cute with a collection of children's books,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Take those old shoes and make them into a planter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. You will want to drill a few holes in the bottom for drainage and possibly put a few coats of polyurethane on the outside to avoid decay,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Place the shoe or shoes in a haphazard display in your garden or at the edge of your porch giving the impression that the shoes have laid there so long they sprouted growth,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
I also saw an idea that I thought sounded pretty clever,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Drill a pair or pairs of shoes onto a tree and make planters out of them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. The idea was to make it look as if the shoes were walking down the tree trunk,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].

Use cotton filler that is used to make pillows and stuff it into the shoe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Cover the cotton with a contrasting fabric stuffed around the cotton and into the shoe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Embellish with bows or anything that will fit the style and color of the shoes. Stick a few sewing pins into it and you've got a pincushion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Now,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], this is a little more difficult to do but you can make a pincushion out of a ladies shoe too. A high heel shoe made into a pincushion is perfect for the seamstress.
