What could YOU make out of an old advertising billboard..

..that's right a dog collar! Totally pinching this post from one of my fave blogs Dogloading... I was really struggling this week to find something for my Worthy Wednesday recycle feature and ok, I know it's Friday, but so worthy of a post. Collars and leashes from recycled billboards...yep, whatever next! but I think I said that last week! So many make their way to landfills each year so why not make a dog collar :)

Apparently, the material wears like denim and gets a rich vintage look over time. They are very soft and durable even though they are made from rescued advertising billboards! Not sure on the process, but they are made in Colorado, and just love the label 'I used to be a billboard'

Check out Itza dog for their range named Ecollargy and even more interesting stuff!

Thanks Dogloading... great find!

Buttons and Bobbies

I have a really big urge to make some of these buttons. I think it probably needs a special machine to do it, but they look so much fun and such a great way to get creative! I found these on a number of etsy shops and picked out the pet ones, but there are oodles of great designs, especially some of the earrings, that have really unique styles.

Toki Poki - Pet trading cards

Hey, I found a great new idea for anyone who loves pets -  Toki Poki - and I love it! Think pet trading cards with a purpose and when you join you get 50 cards to hand around.
It's a community-centric site based on creating and exchanging personalised cards depicting pets. What a great idea to build a collection of cards representing all the pets in your area. This leads to meeting new people, making new friends, a better understanding of breeds and the building of community spirit - not to mention a great way for lost pets to get recognized and returned.
Meet Toki and her pals here

How would you like to chat with other pet owners, celebrate your pet's birthday and even build an online memorial in loving memory of a furry friend? They have more exciting things coming soon too!
