Because money is harder to come by than ideas, I have decided to use the latter to make the most of what I have or can get for very little cost. That is fortunate, because I have a desire to lessen my carbon footprint and I love to make things. Finding unique solutions to everyday issues comes naturally to me. My bedside wastebasket is made of old magazines and hot glue. I based it on an idea I found here. It has lasted a year, and a little less trash went to the dumpster that day. I save jars for storage of small items, etc. and use soft drink caps to elevate my dish drain to help with water flow. I know this makes me sound a bit like a hoarder, but trust me - many things do end up trashed. The key is to keep a few items (jars, empty water jugs) on hand, then toss the rest until some have been used. So now that I have shared a few ideas, it's your turn. Please share some of the unique ways you reuse items in your homes. I will continue to share ideas I find with you... complete with instructions and photos.
