Please do NOT throw away your mascara wands. Instead, clean JUST THE WAND with dawn soap, place them in a ziploc bag and mail them to a Wildlife Refuge accepting donations. These little wands are able to be upcycled to clean away oil, larvae, fly eggs, mites, infections, mud and other contaminants from wildlife. Works great for medical care and wound treatment

Pick your refuge to mail to:

Appalachian Wild
P.O. Box 1211
Skyland NC 28776

OR

Wildlife Wands
P.O. Box 1586
Southwick, MA 01077.

I was at a thrift store when they broke lie 4 decretive plates, I took them for free and used them to mosaic a birdhouse. Burned out really nice. You just have to think outside the box.

Saw someone recycle used up candle holders with lids for make up cleaning pads. Thought it was good idea.

Sorry DI auto corrected :)

Donated many old ceramic dishes to the do over the years.
