Earth-Friendly Friday


Sometimes the answers to reusing are right around your own house. A single teacup for instance. It can be turned into a watering cup for birds, when it's placed out in the yard. Or a bird feeder, if you fill it with seed.

We just need to think outside the box--um, cup, or whatever the object might be. My husband took one cup that was left out of a set and with the help of a little epoxy-WAHLAH-garden art!

I also use old broken pots in my yard to liven up my garden. Who's to say what's art? I guess in my yard at least, that person will be me ;)

So, do you have any clever RE-uses sitting around that you'd like to share? Please add them to the "comments" section and thanks!

No re-uses that I can think of, but I love that garden teacup!

Lovely teacup! I love reusing. On my farm blog, blahwg!, I post often about some of my reuse ideas. As far as my garden art, I love adding the things that we find in the woods and creek. In the corner by the front porch, I have a stack of clay tiles (pipes) that my grands dug up in the creek.

I love scarfing up OPG (other people's garbage) to use in my projects. Not only is it good for the environment... it's fun!

You are so creative in thinking of using a teacup for birds! I love it.

My boys love finding treasures (cast out garbarge of other people) for creating things or for making art. They insist that a bottle top is a treasure or a screw could be a paperclip is valuable.

I guess I reuse a lot of wrappings and strings for packages. I like to use paper bags for wrapping paper and really jazz them up.

Thanks Christina - Dad used to laugh and say I was so cheap I should have been a bird and so tight-I squeaked :) I like to think of it as creative ;)
