Upcycle plastic into a fun jump rope

Zakka Life contributor Kawaii Crafter has posted a fun idea for creating a plastic bottle jumprope. Upcycling plastic kid-sized bottles she uses empty Danimals containers for her teeny jumper. The easy-to-follow tutorial is complete with clear directions and pictures and even helpful suggestions like perhaps in place of using rope you make your own out of plastic bags. That really drives home the resourceful recycling message you're wanting to share with the kids. Here's how to href="http://www.highlightskids.com/Express/Crafts/Games/C0894_jumprope.asp">make a quick braided plastic bag jumprope. The plastic flower decorations added to the handles give this jumprope a girlie twist. She's even included the words for "Miss Susie" to get those ropes a-swinging.
