New Life for Old Linens
Next time you decide to toss out your old towels, t-shirts, sheets, linens, or fabric scraps, think about giving them a new life.  Cut the item into 1/2" strips and crochet, or weave into bath mats, small rugs, pot holders, or heavy-duty cleaning cloths, trivets, coasters, etc.  The possibilities are endless.

Make Your Own Cleaning Products
Did you know that you can often make cheaper, healthier versions of the products that you buy, at home? This can go way beyond food and clothes. If you're a great cook and a wiz on a sewing machine, terrific! But if you're neither of those, think about other things that you can make at home. Consider household cleaning products, personal care products, other products for the home, gift items, and more. The list can be endless. The initial time investment may seem like much, but once you master the art of making your own, you'll appreciate the overall benefits to your wallet and your home. And, it may even be therapeutic.
