Don't throw away your old vegetables!

"I just bought a bunch of celery then cut it near the bottom and dipped it in paint to create instant flowers on paper. This could be a fun thing to do with other aging produce on hand that would otherwise go to waste." - Sam G.

Thanks Sam! This is a fantastic idea, and you could even use fruits, cookies, bread, or whatever perishables you have past the expiration date. Other ideas you could make with this project include wrapping paper, t-shirt designs, art pieces, and so much more!

Chopsticks into Plantsticks

A simple fix elevated my plant's life, quite literally. I've always hesitated before throwing away wooden chopsticks. They are perfectly good pieces of wood and there are sure to be many uses for them hidden right under my nose. As I was gazing out my window, I noticed my plant was looking a bit deflated and suddenly I had an idea. I decided to make a lattice so that my plant could stand tall and now it's looking healthier than ever. -Tiffany T. (editor)

From Pantry to Desk

"I took an empty box of Cheerios and Ritz and cut them into organizers. I later added in shelves to my Ritz box. Also in the Greek yogurt container I’m storing all my plastic bags. I’ve cut them into strips and made a sort of ‘plastic yarn’ which I’ll knit into a new, more reusable bag when I accumulate enough. " - Amanda L.
