Let’s face it – sometimes you have to retire a favorite pair of kicks or clothing. It’s just looking ragged or it’s going to send you to the podiatrist. But if that item is too memorable to part with, you don’t have to chuck it. Just use a part of it to make something new and you’ll score major Earth Day karma points in the process. TOMS Shoes had an awesome newsletter email today dishing some ideas on what their shoes can be, but the possibilities are endless and can actually turn out to be pretty cool. It’s another opportunity to work that creative mind of yours.
