The holidays are among us...
This year, wrap all of your gifts in fabric and ask others to wrap gifts for you in fabric. When the unwrapping is over, turn those fabric pieces into a quilt/blanket to keep you warm. What an awesome idea and you have a great keepsake for years to come.
This saves all of the paper and tape that would have gone into the trashcan.

Upcycling?
I just recently learned about the term Upcycling.
(You can learn more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upcycle)
Basically you take near worthless materials or found objects and make them or re-work them into something of more value.
One example is making paper beads, you take paper, newspaper, wrapping paper, etc... and roll it into really cool beads.
I have been experimenting with this and plan on making a video on how to do it, but I need a little more practice first.
Write a post and let me know how you Upcycle!
