Over on Crafty Crafty, I've stumbled on so many exciting and inventive items made from re-used materials this week that I can only assume this trend has now got bigger than ever. Is the green message finally hitting home, or is this a sign of the credit crunch taking hold!?
One of the coolest things I've seen come from this explosion of creativity is this pair of sandals made out of a yoga mat that had seen its last sun salutation. Flickr user Sami Sue made them, following this tutorial on threadbanger, with a few of her own alterations. The shoes not only look stylish, but are hard-wearing, too. A winning combination when you're talking footwear!
