Carton Craftiness

Katie and I just launched this spiffy new brand site for the California Milk Processor Board (the "got milk?" people.)

Being the crafty girls we are, we decided it would be cool to create some projects people could make from their empty milk cartons and jugs.

We designed the projects, cut, glued, taped, painted and even photographed the final products in our office (which looked like a pre-school classroom for much of March.) Fittingly, the site was launched on Earth Day.

Here are a few of recycled creations. See them all and download the instructions for each of them here.

Commit To the Knit

Back in the Boulder days, Katie and I started a knitting club. One night a week we'd all meet at the Boulder Bookstore, order the $5 pie and chai special and get our knit on. Katie and I screen printed these skull-and-knitting-needle "Commit to the Knit" shirts for the crew.
