Money Saving Monday: Recycle & Save Your Money

You know we are all about recycling and we love finding cute crafty things to make, so when mama Jenny sent us this email of something she came up with we HAD to SHARE! Not only is it super cute and good for the environment, but it saves on your pocketbook!

Here is what she wrote:
"Have any containers from baby snacks? Chips?  Any container really..... Instead of throwing away, recycle them into office organizers. You can take different sized ones and glue them together to make neat arrangements of them.  I have the Gerber veggie crunch containers and decided to make pen/pencil holders.  Or maybe I'll use one in the bathroom to hold cotton balls, brushes, whatever!!!  I have lots of stamps and scrapbooking stuff, so I stamped mine, but you can do anything, just use your imagination!  You could get contact paper to have it match a room."


Here is her finished project. Way to go Jenny!!!

I LOVE this idea! The possibilities are truly endless. I can't wait to try this! You could even let your kids decorate some of them to store their crayons, stickers etc. Don't forget to talk about why it is so important to recycle :)
