It’s Monday, I’m in a playful mood because the sun is shining in Sweden (finally) – so what better time to feature some fun and colorful recycled toy creations! I don’t think it matters if you are old or young – these projects are bound to make you smile.
I think this list could go on and on…but it’s only a day’s worth of inspiration. Perhaps I’ll put a larger collection together soon – interested?
Until next time…

i must say, the barbie chandelier is a tad creepy.

Irēna – thank you so much for the compliment! I'll keep on working hard to get the inspiration out there for recycled and repurposed projects.

I did see your lamp – pinned it to my 'recycled toys' board at Pinterest. Great results! I'm having fun watching your projects. Where in Sweden are you located? I'm also in Sweden.

We're so happy to be featured in this awesome post! Thank you! We've tried the lamp as well and was very pleased with the result: http://pysselbolaget.se/2011/11/11/lekfull-leksakslampan/

Hey Ann – WOW! Thanks for such a great compliment. This was a fun post to do the research for – and yes, I do think I could put together a larger collection so I'll work on that. You made me laugh with your last comment…because it seems like ALL my daughter's Barbies end up naked. What is that about?

I want to do a lamp as well – Have small kids at home so I've been secretly cleaning out their supplies of worthless plastic toys. Hope the kids aren't permanently scarred for life !

Hi Brian – I'm saving my kid's little plastic toys now…have a good sized box of them to try something with – all the while for kicking myself for getting rid of so many a few years ago. Think I'm gonna try a lamp.

Too cool. What fun to reminisce with all those toys, new and old. The silver toy lids are very eye-catching and the mixed toy groups as lamps are so powerful.

Best internet post in a Long Time! I have pinned the toy lamp, but I love the chair. I think I will make the lego bracelet! I am going to pin everything I don't have. Make a longer post if you can. Don't you love the Barbie chandelier? I've never seen so many Barbies with clothes on! Ann
