Hello all you Hybrid Chickies! I hope you are enjoying the new Hybrid challenges here on The Hybrid chick! I know I am!
Let’s dive right in with some examples of Hybrid recycling. I love to make projects with things I find laying around. Who wants to spend money, right? I want to save all mine for Digi Kits! 
I did a tutorial on candle wraps a bit ago..they look awesome and make a great gift. Instead of going out and buying Chipboard, I just used a cereal box!
Here is another candle wrap I made with more cereal boxes. I gave this away as a gift for BUNKO. The girls loved it.
I made these Photo Blocks with a piece of wood that was laying around in the garage.
Look at this project, by Jessica, using an empty Hot Cocoa tin.
And how about these flowers made from yogurt containers!
Oh and look at these cute containers made from recycled ribbon spools!
Look at this one using a mint tin! Mint tins make the cutest little mini albums too.
There is so much you can do when you get creative with your recyclables!
So, your challenge is just that, make a hybrid project with an item you would normally throw away!
What will you win? The wonderful and talented designer Mel Wilson has a super cute prize for you.
You all know those lunchable containers? Well, Mel has come up with a way to recycle it into an adorable gift!
Isn’t that cute! There are so many possibilities!
Complete the challenge and you will get the template to make these cuties in any style you want! Deadline to enter is 11:59pm EST March 19, 2010
Submission Instructions:
Upload your creation to an online photo gallery (e.g. The DigiChick, SplitCoastStampers, Flicker) or your blog. Copy the direct URL to your image/blog entry and then and post a link to your project in the comments section below this post.
Have fun, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

Your recycling ideas are great, I love the samples you made. Interestingly enough I made something yesterday that would qualify for your challenge. Here’s a link to my blog:
