My husband has made fire starters for our wood burning stove by taking saw dust and wax from old candles and adding them together in egg shell cartons. Then he broke them a part in individual parts.
I order a lot online and recently i have noticed that instead of "peanuts" the pkg. are arriving now packed with a generous supply of very nice brown paper. very much like butchers paper.
I am crazy about the trend for fashion rings and have bought a few and dug up some more old ones. But do you know you can also MAKE ones out of the unlikely combination of silicone/plastic/rubber rings plus a single orphan stud earring.
With the Swine Flu upon us, don't throw away the small eye drop bottles, recycle them by snapping off the top, rinse bottle well and refill with hand sanitizer then replace the top, the bottle is small enough that it can be carried in your pocket or purse.
I don't get junk postal mail anymore but I do receive bills that always have return payment envelopes. I pay my bills by phone or online now and just hate the idea of throwing those envelopes away.
I like to recycle plastic grocery bags in my kitchen garbage container. I bought a package of self-adhesive plastic cup hooks at the dollar store and put two on the inside of the trash can on the right and two more on the left.
