Reader Roundup: Reduce, Reuse, Upcycle!
ONE MAN'S TRASH...

My tip would be that nothing is trash…unless it really is trash! Think about things you can use it for before you throw it away! It can really save you money and make your place more interesting. Also have fun with it I put cloth binding tape on glass bottles as a grip and use them as everyday water bottles. I save shipping boxes to wrap birthday gifts. And I use bricks (seriously!) for bookends - if the bricks have holes in them, I use them as pencil holders.

I try to reuse as much as possible.. I have a garage sale every year .. one man's trash is another man's treasure! We also donate items - if clothes are not wearable, we cut them up for rags. I use the buttons to make bracelets for my granddaughter & to reuse in crafty art projects! -

I found some old baking tins like bread tins, muffin tins, and ring pans that I haven't used in ages. I planted succulents in them, and they are the cutest things! -
