February 2nd, 2010 at 10:59am Under Green Crafting+ Home Decor and Design

Decorating your home doesn’t have to be as expensive as you think. Not only can you make your decorations by getting crafty, but you can also make these decorations out of recycled materials.

Dryer Sheet Art

September 4th, 2009 at 12:24pm Under Green Crafting

I just came across this adorable craft that uses dryer sheets, after they’ve done their job of making your laundry smell nice, and turns them into flowers! So it’s a recycled craft, which means it’s budget-friendly and it’s super cute and creative. This fellow crafty blogger had applied these dryer sheet flowers to greeting cards [...]

July 16th, 2009 at 08:18am Under Green Crafting

As the old saying goes, one person’s trash is another person’s treasure, and that cliche saying turned out true for me. Last weekend, my friend and I were walking along on our way to get something to eat when all of a sudden he darted into an alleyway. I followed him, until we were standing [...]
