Follow along with iReport staffers as we build a new kind of news site.
From Sarah Hill, CNN.com Live associate producer:
Wednesday's on-set guest started out as an economic story, but Cherry DelRosario's funky crafts do more than just save money on gifts. By turning trash into treasure, she also keeps clutter out of the landfill.
Cherry sent us detailed, step-by-step pictures documenting how she combined a clock and book to make a unique gift and turned a dart board into a jewelry vanity. She brought the finished products with her as well as the parts, and gave Catherine, the CNN.com Live anchor, a quick overview of how she redesigns old t-shirts and recycles old thrift store finds.
The cool recycled crafts were a perfect fit for CNN.com Live's Earth Day coverage. Hope you had a lovely green Earth Day!
