| Reusing Paper Towel Tubes
|
|
We just went through getting painted (what a job) three bedrooms, two and one half baths, kitchen, etc. We used an enormous amount of Bounty towels in the clean-up process. For some reason I saved all the tubes off the towels, why I don't know.

|
|
Here are some tips for conserving water in your garden: Water your garden in the late afternoon but not at night. It needs time to let the surface dry so mold and fungus aren't able to damage the plants.

| Turn Mail Order Catalogs into Memory Books
|
|
I like to keep very well bound mail order catalogs. At the end of the year, I will take the best art work of my children for each month of the year, and attach them to the pages of the catalog.

| BPA: Why Reusing Plastics May Be Dangerous
|
 Did you know your plastic is killing you? Sorry for the dramatic title, but I had to get your attention because it's true. Being a thrifty person, especially in the kitchen, I have always reused plastic food containers from the grocery store.

I have a broken Apple Pro Mouse, that is a computer mouse. I would like to find some use for it, rather than sending it to a landfill. Any ideas?

| Garden: Clear VHS Cases For Seedlings
|
 When our library decided to get rid of videos in favor of dvds, all the old transparent plastic cases went in the waste bin. This is a cloche made from some that I rescued. Superb for plants and less for landfill!

| Reuse Plastic Cat Litter Bags as Tomato Planters
|
|
The new tomato plants were out today, and I couldn't resist, thinking surely, I had some large planters at my apartment. You guessed it, no planters, but I do have a cat. Fortunately for me, I had several of the "plastic" bags from cat sand in the recycle bins.

| Recycled Kitchen Utensil Holder
|
 I used Juicy Juice cans to hold my kitchen utensils. I put them in a wire basket that I found for 50 cents, added the magnets and, bingo, a multipurpose rack.

| Craft: Welcome Sign Made From Branches
|
 I am big on nature. I took one long branch, a shorter branch, scrap wood, and made a welcome sign. I screwed the branches together. I put a screw(or nail) in top of the sign, wrapped copper wire around top screws.
