What do you consume with this colour lid?
Do you recycle them?
Where do you take them?
Help others out with places that have lid drop points.

Here in Otautahi Christchurch they can be taken to Riverlution Richmond Community Garden
Where I can pay a koha and pick some up to use in my art.

The next reel will have all the products I use the dark green lids in.

Absolutely my least favourite coloured lid even though I really love the colour blue.

I mostly wash the lids in the winter time now days. When they go onto the clothes drying rack above the fire. They dry within 2 days. In the summer it takes a lot longer on the clothes line outside.
I do put a couple of towels down over the floor to catch the drips in the first couple of hours.

Id like to send special thanks to Bex for her awesome work capturing what i do here. Thank you. 👏

The thing I make using the pink lids.
Yep not many things have pink lids in them, just a bracelet the moment.
Sometimes when I have more lids, I make small heart magnets. Or a bit larger wall hanging heart.
I'd also only ever mix the pink lids with white so they go a bit further.
You can find my full range of bracelets on my website

If you could choose to have something pink made what would it be?
Let me know in the comments!
