We’ve had an email from Nichola:
My husband works in a cinema and has brought home a heap of old movie posters for me to recycle into something else. But what? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Given Nichola had a link to the wonderful Etsy in her email signature, the first ideas I had were crafty - borrowing Ecoist’s idea of making them into handbags or wallets or making some fun art by weaving strips of different posters together. Any more crafty ideas?
Or what about more practical ones?

How about using them to make personalized birthday cards, especially if the film came out when the person was born!

Thanks Trish and Andy for your ideas. I’m looking more towards doing something crafty with them. We already have dozens framed on our walls, especially old horror movie ones. I’m going to look into the bag idea and maybe cards and notebook covers. Any more ideas?

I would love to take some of them off your hands - I just started collecting and would really appreciate the opportunity. Please contact me “Honest_Italian_1@yahoo.com”
Thanks, Ron

Waugh!
Seriously, DON’T RECYCLE THEM. They are worth A LOT OF MONEY. Sell them on eBay, and I guarantee that you will be able to raise a lot of money for other crafty projects.

Ebay would be my first suggestion, but if youd don’t want to make loads of money, i’m sure they would make interesting collages.

I’d also suggest eBay, Freecycle, etc, because people will reprint posters of movies they liked to get them.
That said, if they’re for movies that weren’t very good, they can make festive wrapping paper!

students love old posters to decorate their apartments, they will be charged $ if they hang a regular framed picture using nails.
