Simply "Cycle" Saturday

Every week we are seeing more and more how easy it is to reuse or re"cycle" items that we have in our homes that aren't being used anymore. Reusing items will help us to save money and help the environment by making less waste. Last week the item that we saw how to reuse was Old Newspaper.

This week we are going to see great uses for Old T-Shirts! T-shirts are easy to get and it seems that they come out of no where. If you volunteer for organizations, give blood, work for a company, etc., you probably got a FREE or discounted t-shirt. You wear it for a while and then it just lays in your dresser drawer. I have tons of t-shirts that I just don't wear anymore.

I decided to sit down one day and try to see what else I could use my t-shirts for. They have some meaning to me so I couldn't bear to just throw them out. Here are some of the things that I came up with:

1. You could make pillow cases out of them: You just cut off the sleeves, turn it inside out and sew the arm & neck holes. This makes fun pillowcases that have a very retro look.
2. You could use them as bedding for your animal's cages or kennels. There is nothing better to your pet then your smell. Something you have worn, has your scent. They will be comforted when you are gone. I gave my dog an old pillow and I put one of my t-shirts over it for a pillow case. She couldn't be happier.
3. You could use them as rags. If they don't hold any meaning and you just want to put them to good use, this is perfect. Cotton is great for soaking up liquid. They are perfect for cleaning with!
4. You could make a patchwork blanket with them. You would cut the t-shirt into squares and sew the squares together. Since cotton stretches, you will have to sew them to another type of material that doesn't stretch. Cut up the rest of the t-shirt that you didn't use for the patchwork to use as the batting. You will then use the non-stretch material for the backing. You now have a one of a kind blanket that has all your memories sown together.
5. You could also donate them. If you don't wear them then why not give them to someone who will. It fits the old saying, "One man's junk is another man's treasure!".

If you have another great use for old t-shirts, please post it here and share it with all of us.

My Baby's First Birthday Party!

The reason I have been scarce in posting this weekend is because my little guy had his first birthday party on Saturday. We took extra time getting everything together, visited with family in town from Florida & Tennessee and spent extra time with our little guy. I made a special cake for my little guy to get himself and dig into that went with the All Star party theme. It took a really long time but it was neat to see the finished product!Most of today was spent putting together all of his new toys & trying them out with him. He went from one toy to the next and played hard today. He loves the fact that he can walk now and takes advantage of it whenever possible. He got a Little Tikes Coupe from his daddy & I and do you think he rides IN it? Not a chance, he would rather walk & push it! He also got a push toy from his Grandma that he had a blast with outside. You probably wonder why I never show my little guy's face. I just feel that the internet is not safe for children. With all the internet predators out there, I just don't want to give them anything extra to work with. I want to keep my kid's identities private.

Simply "Cycle" Saturday

I know that today is Sunday and I am just now posting "Super Cycle Saturday". See the post My Baby's First Birthday Party for the reason I am behind on posting, its a good one!

Last week I talked about how to get the best use out of Old Phone Books. This week I would like to touch on left over newspapers.

Many of us receive or purchase the Sunday paper every week for the coupons. What do you do with the rest of the paper? Some of you may have a recycle program where you live. Why not put the papers to better use. Here are some things that I have come up with to use the papers for.

1. Puppy Potty Training: If you have a new puppy who is not yet potty trained, use it as potty paper. You could go out and buy those expensive potty training pads, or you could use old newspaper. Just put a few layers of it down on the floor or kennel where your puppy stays (be sure to use the black and white pages over the colored because they soak liquid better). It is easy to clean up and soaks up liquid very easily. Most veterinary clinics use it as flooring in their kennels.
2. If you have cats, line the litter box with old newspaper. This will absorb extra liquid and soak up some of the smell. What I do is line the litter box with old newspaper, sprinkle some baking soda and then the litter. This prolongs the life of the litter and cuts down the odor.
3. If you are looking for a retro decoration for a room in your house, cover an old shoebox with it. Get some Modge Podge paste from Walmart and take your old newspaper and adhere it to the shoe box. You can do this with any old item that needs a little sprucing up. A friend of mine refinished an old table top of hers like this and it looked great!
4. Wrap gifts with it. Wrapping paper tends to be very expensive. What a better way to show that you recycle than to use your old newspaper as wrapping paper. You can personalize it by wrapping your gifts and writing on it with a Sharpie. If it is for a birthday party, use the brightest sharpies you have and draw balloons on the paper and write Happy Birthday in bubble letters. It is original and lots of fun to design.
5. Here is a website that you can check out other great ideas. There are 80 uses for old newspaper listed on this site. The ideas are endless!

How have you used old newspaper creatively? Post it here and share with everyone!
