Maker Faire Bay Area 2009
Trashlings: Toys from Trash

Location:   Cypress   

After helping folks sew from swappables at Swap-O-Rama-Rama in 2006, Homeygrown discovered piles of scraps from many projects. What's better to do than re:use!?!? Dig through swappables for your body, sew and stuff with scraps, and give your Trashling a personality with buttons and bottle caps. Fill out a birth certificate to officially adopt your Trashling!
