Rather than numerous trips to such places as Bed Bath & Beyond, Pier 1, or Crate & Barrel, try looking for images on crafts recycling what you already have on hand. You can make candles, waste baskets, planters, and other décor out of old magazines, light bulbs, wine bottles, and numerous other items ready to go into your trash bins. Just check out some of the sites below and you’ll see what I mean. Before you shop, consider being earth friendly and turn those old items into new works of art.
