I have always heard of the saying "One man's trash is another man's treasure" and when it comes to my crafts, I live by this saying. No, I promise, I am not crazy, nor do I go dumpster diving every Friday night either...hmmm...that gives me an idea, just teasing.
I wanted to share with you how you can save money at the same time becoming innovative as well as green by recycling. WOW, that sounds empowering! Well, it is true! When it comes to crafts, I am constantly looking at items and trying to figure out how I could use it in my work. I love using certain items people are going to throw away to make dollhouse miniatures, various crafts with my boys, plus many more ideas.
For instance, did you know that Popsicle sticks can be used in a variety of crafts as well as in the miniature world? I use them in several ways; just to name a few: dollhouse siding, dollhouse wood floor, dollhouse furniture, dollhouse wooden crate, dollhouse roof, plus so many more!!! They even sell them in the craft stores...but why do that when you can have your cake and eat it too (and by cake, I mean Popsicle), plus you are keeping that much more out of our landfills. Who knew you could save the world one Popsicle stick at a time!!! :)
So today, I am sharing with you one way you can turn and everyday spice rack into an ultimate craft supply storage organizer. So if you come across one that you don't want anymore or you found at a garage sale or maybe a friend is wanting to throw it away or sell it snatch it up because there are many things you can do with it. I am going to show you a few today...

This is the spice rack that my friend gave me. It spins and the if you see below, the tops come completely off. You can put most any small things inside them and store them. Plus, they are clear and I can see what I want!
