Here is a craft you can do using empty glass jars and scrap pieces of fabric. You can use these découpage jars as vases or to hold other objects you have around the house.

Does anyone have any good ideas on crafts that I can create using wine corks?

When I don’t have time to work on my hobbies, I like to live vicariously through blogs or magazines. Here’s a few of my favorites that I like to pick through for inspiration:
Ready Made Magazine {DIY projects}
Martha Stewart {sewing/deco/gardening projects}
Real Simple {recipes/organizing tips/deco ideas}
Apartment Therapy {home deco ideas}
Crafting In A Green World {craft ideas}

Scrapbooking can be a very un-green hobby. When I realize most of the cute papers and embellishments I loved were made from virgin materials, I had to make a change. Now, my first crafting rule is to try and make it instead of buy it. It’s useful that I’m a packrat and save everything but here are some of my shortcuts for greener scrapbooking:

- plan your pages before you print the photos — all of my photos are digital and I only print the pictures that I know I will use
- instead of buying generic themed sheets for backgrounds, use old maps, programs, or other event memorabilia
- draw or stencil your own designs on plain paper for a unique and personalized background
- instead of purchasing packaged die cut deco, draw and cut out your shapes from scrap paper
- use scrap fabrics, ribbons, thread, yarn, buttons, or any left over paper and photo pieces as borders or accents

What are some of your eco-friendly crafting tips?
