Vintage Cameras Redesigned As Fabulous Night Lights
What do you do with your gadgets when they become obsolete? A lot of people I know give their old stuff to their children when they decide to upgrade. As a result, you might be surprised at how many kids who aren't old enough to drive have iPhones.
What about old cameras? Just the other day I wro ...
A World Map Created From Recycled Computer Parts
Just last month, I wrote an article about the city of Helsinki created from recycled motherboards. It was an extraordinary piece of art, and the shape of the city was almost immediately recognizable when you looked at the picture of the whole thing. If you want to see it for yourself, you can go to ...
Stylish Shoes Molded From Recycled Cardboard
When I was doing research for this article, I learned a lot about cardboard with regards to recycling. There are two types of cardboard. The first is what's called corrugated cardboard, and it's the type of cardboard we normally see things packed in for shipping. It has that lightweight ruffled laye ...
A Disease Called Humans: A Creative Comic About The Earth
One thing that we love at Bit Rebels is the planet. Since we all live so far apart from each other, we feel the distance and the vastness of the Earth on a weekly basis. As technology continues to make our world smaller by connecting us all in ways we never thought possible even a decade ago, the fa ...
How To: Recycle & Reuse Items For Your Garden
We are big fans of reusing and recycling at Bit Rebels. The whole concept of giving a second life to something that might have before been considered trash is becoming more and more popular.

One Day On Earth: Every Country On The Same Day [Video]
We are all just specks of dust in the universe. Does that make our lives insignificant? I believe it doesn't because even though we are just an itty-bitty piece of the puzzle, we are all connected. Our lives touch the lives of everyone else on this planet, and for that reason, we are very significan ...
Steampunk Animal Trophies: A Valuable Recycling Lesson
It's always strange to me whenever I see stuffed animal heads hanging on the wall in someone's home. I know that to a hunter, killing a deer, for example, might be considered a big victory. Having his head cut off and mounted on a piece of wood to display as a trophy is a symbol of the hunter's skil ...
Recycled Nintendo NES Becomes 6 Man Music Jamming Device
I don't know how many times I have wished that I never got rid of my Nintendo NES console. It has almost become something to grieve over, and I can't seem to get my butt out of the chair long enough to actually hunt another one down. I would just love to sit for a couple of hours and play Super Mari ...
The Octopus That Lives In A Beer Bottle
We talk a lot about recycling on Bit Rebels. We only have one planet Earth, and once it's ruined, we can't just make another one. We have to each take responsibility and do our individual parts to help the environment thrive. It's really the only way to make a difference. It really takes the par ...
Recycling: Old Plastic Toys Get A New Life As A Dog
If you have young children, you probably know what it's like to have itty-bitty toys all around your house. Whether it's little plastic numbers, pieces of broken figures or used crayons, that stuff just seems to accumulate everywhere. My son, who is ten years old, has gotten to the age where he is ...
Tie Case: Recycle Your Old Ties Into Wallets And Cases
Being a kind of laid back person, I don't have the payload of ties to brag about. Sure, I do have my mandatory set of ten ties (trying to expand my collection), but working in front of a computer all day doesn't exactly set me up in a forum where I need a tie to represent myself. In the summers, i ...
Clocks Created From Vinyl Records – Retro Meets Recycling
Vinyl records are just a tad before my time. I had a few of them when I was very young, but for most of my childhood, it was the cassette era. I have a lot of friends; however, that collect old records. Apparently they can be very sentimental and bring back wonderful memories.
My favorite part ...
You’ve Never Seen (Or Smelled) Shoes Like This Before
Just when you thought you'd seen everything... I'm not sure which is more shocking about these shoes; the 10-inch heels or the elephant poop. Ok, I know which one. I think this is the strangest fashion statement I've ever seen, but I'm trying to be open-minded.
We've featured so many fun high h ...
