Here is a use for single earrings or rarely worn pins. Put them on the brim of a winter hat! You can give these pieces a second life.

A vase with a plastic bag used to support the flowers.
Perfectly Placed Flowers in a VaseHow many times have you had flowers that you just can't arrange to stay the way you want? To fix this problem, all you need to do is take a plastic paper sleeve. Put it in the top of the vase around the flowers, pushing it down just out of view. Adjust your flowers however you want and they're going to stay.

examples of recycled wrapping supplies
Using Recycled Gift WrapIt's perhaps not always appropriate to give someone a gift wrapped in recycled materials. It can look a bit mean and thoughtless and can appear as if the recipient is worthless in your eyes. Some people would be offended.

dust covered dryer sheet in woman's hand
Re-Use Dryer Sheets for DustingI'm always looking for ways to stretch a dollar, and if I have something that can be used more than once, or for more than one job, I'm sold. I use dryer sheets, but it seems like such a waste to use them once and then throw them away. I discovered that they are great for dusting.

A waxed paper liner from a cereal box.
Save Waxed Paper Liners from BoxesThe waxed paper liners from cereal and cracker boxes have so many uses. The paper is very good quality. After you finish your box of cereal, take out the liner, and open it up so it can lie flat. It's best to do this over the sink to catch any crumbs. Wipe down with a sponge and allow to dry before using. Make sure you recycle the box, too!

baby organizer missing a wheel
Getting Replacement Parts for Salvaged ItemsI found a baby products organizer at the curb during one of my walks. The only thing wrong with it was that it was missing one of the casters. I decided to contact the company about getting a replacement.

bottle cap with snowman picture inside
Milk Bottle-top Cat ToyI was at McDonald's the other day, and I purchased three of their little bottles of milk. I immediately knew that they would be used as some kind of craft or toy or decoration at our home. I decided to use them as a seasonal cat toy.

Gift Wrap from Book Cover
Gift Wrap from Book CoverI wanted to use a reusable wrapping for this small gift. The wrapping is made out of the silky fabric of a book cover. I can think of a few other uses for these book covers as well, for after the recipient receives the gift.
