Reuse:
Reusable Bags : this is one of the best and easiest way to go green. I had ordered some real cool totes from Earthenme.com sometime back and conveniently forgot it .
Now ive hunted 'em down and used it today to go grocery shopping :)
my bags collection
Today i am so proud of myself to have not used some plastic bags . plastic clogs drains, adds to land fills waste and do not degrade fast. Using bags is not only eco friendly they looks great and add to your fashion quotient ;)
Reusing old Envelopes: I used old envelopes as scrap paper to make notes .
I also reuse Envelopes having less stamp marks by covering old address by sticking paper on them :)
Also today i used a fancy envelope to make a corner book mark, here is how
- use a scale draw a line to create a triangle
-cut on the line using scissors
-decorate with drawings or stickers , mine was a fancy envelope so i dint do anything :)
-thats it ! the bookmark is ready . I love corner bookmarks more than the staright ones asthey dont slide off easily .
Reusing Coconut shells: I have come to understand that creativity drives innovation!Ehmmm..I was born actually born with creative thinking abilities:P! As a green challenge I reused coconut shells to make a makeup brush stand and a pen stand!Both very simple to make.
A very cute pen stand:)
In love with the cutie pie makeup brushes stand!
This was a bit hard to make, had to cut the coconut shell into equal half, stuffed thermocol into the insides and finally place the coconut shell on a glass to keep it balanced!
