Christmas Trash To Treasure

One of the unfortunate things about the holidays is all the trash it leaves behind. That's why I'm always on the lookout out for new uses of cast away items. For example, the picture above is a candy mold that I salvaged from one of those cheap advent calendars. Once I tore away the cardboard exterior, I discovered a plastic candy mold with twenty-four unique molds! I'll save the candy mold to make chocolates and sugar shapes for next year.

Here's the kind of advent calendar I'm referring to.

What the advent calendar looks like when you tear away the cardboard.

Come back later in the week to see what I'm doing with cardboard wrapping paper rolls.
