I’ll keep today’s post short, since tonight is New Year’s Eve (funny that we celebrate the day/night before a holiday…).
For the holiday, I’m really just advocating a do-it-yourself type of noise making for New Year’s. Below is a list of simple noise making that reuse simple items that either everyone has, or that almost everyone just throws […]
I thought that I’d get you all a bit more information about “Freegans” and why they do what they do… (My post uses many quotes from http://freegan.info/, so if you want more information, that’s the place to look. I certainly don’t cover everything they have on their site!)
First, a bit more about their need to […]
Here’s another good use for all of that junk mail–make yourself a funnel that you can throw away when you’re done (without feeling guilty).
The best way to do this is to find the thickest, shiniest piece of junk mail you can, that way it will be much less likely to soak up water or oil, […]
Today’s list was inspired, in part, by my Christmas post, involving leftover wrapping paper.
Here are some things you can use it for, instead of just trashing it:
Reuse the Stuff–My family has reused wrapping paper for years. If you just love the kind that someone gave you this year, chances are good that they won’t really […]
My thought today is: If more people made gifts for their friends and family, Boxing Day might be a good day to relax and/or eat some Christmas dinner leftovers–since homemade gifts aren’t very returnable.
Plus, making gifts helps me remember that the season is about giving, not about getting what I want.
So, before you return your […]
I decided that, since today’s Christmas, you should stop reading my blog and do something with family or friends. (Don’t worry, I’m following my own advice, I typed this post up ahead of time and set it to post automatically.)
If you insist on junk creating today (and, really, who could blame you?), you can tear […]
Since today is Christmas Eve, it seems a great idea to finish off the Junk Creation Christmas Tree with a touch of honey. I know that some of you may have been enlarging one or two of my ideas for your own tree, but this one seems limited to the smaller version, at least if […]
I saw a great Junk Creator/Collector in an article from The State Journal Register on December 12th, 2007 (Article Titled: Dave Bakke: Bargains in a Dumpster–I assume that Dave is the author). The dumpster diver featured in this interview is Kari Abate.
I thought I’d put up two or three quotes that I found interesting. I highly recommend […]
Now that school is out, or soon to be out, you can encourage your kids to make snowflakes out of their old homework assignments and hang them on a tree. (Or on the refrigerator…)
I think they look nice interspersed with the green tree.

This is going to sound a little on the odd/cheesy side, but I decided that this blog needed a song to commemorate the Junk Creation Tree that I’m featuring every how-to post until Christmas.
So, if you have a mind to, sing the following words to the same music as the Twelve Days of Christmas:
On the […]
