Feeling a little extra Earth-friendly today?  Me, too.

So let's take a look at a few clever repurposing projects.

I'm going to start out with my very favorite -

a succulent garden growing in a snail shell!

 

 

Whether you happen upon abandoned shells on the beach or

purchase them in the craft shop, they make darling little planters.

 

 

You have to admit - this IS the cutest

hanging garden you've ever seen!

Just can't get enough ideas for repurposing shutters, can we?

You know how disappointed you are when you run across
an antique or vintage book that's too damaged to salvage?
Buy it anyway and make a bookmark out of the beautiful spine.

The next time you catch yourself in need of pretty and
inexpensive centerpieces for a casual get-together, cover
tin cans in gift wrapping paper and plant a few blooming
flowers in each one.  This is a great craft project for the
little helpful hands in your family.

Many thrift shops sell needlecraft hoops for less
than a dollar each.  Using bright and colorful
fabrics it's easy to create inexpensive wall art.

As much as we love them, antique claw-foot bathtubs
just aren't practical in most of our bathrooms.  But, what's
to stop us from using one as a planter or coffee table,
especially on a porch?!

I hope today's post inspires you to take a look around your house
and repurpose every day items in new and useful ways.
Our planet thanks you!
