It may not surprise those of you that regularly visit my blog that I wear several hats. Unfortunately, I won’t be wearing the Junk Man hat, at least not publicly, after today. I wish I could say I am surprised, but I’ve had so many balls in the air lately that I figured something would […]
This weekend, I’ve got the perfect idea for making things from old paper, be it old catalogues, old wrapping paper, used wrapping paper, or any other old paper. The Fun in the Making blog has a post titled: Make Your Own Envelopes From Salvaged Paper.
They have excellent instructions about how to make envelopes that are […]
Alright, we’re nearly finished with this ring. Now all we have left to do is lace it up.
Begin by cutting a 10 in piece of hemp. Now, punch holes into the portion of your leather that we cut extra to give us enough for a seam. Now, form the ring with the “out” side toward […]
I’m always happy to my regular readers a hand with links!
Sigrinn has recently authored a post called CD Cover of Recycled Pages and the cover looks fantastic.
Here’s what the post says:
I also made a stand for it of some wire… (It’s meant to be a photo-stand, but it worked this way too.)

How do people survive financially without reusing things? I have often wondered how people who make the same amount per year (or less) than I do can justify buying everything new and throwing out their things. How can they afford to do it. Perhaps their accountants are better than mine? (I don’t have one…)
My suggestion, […]
If you haven’t seen the Canadian based Red Green Show, then you really are missing one of the best comedies involving junk creation and just plain funny humor about males, duct tape, and male lodge behavior.
The Belleville Intelligencer recently posted an article that features Harold, the geeky nephew from the Red Green Show, and his […]
Today will be a similar post to the previous few, but it will be another scrap leather ring, instead of the rubber one from last week.
I’ll focus on designing this particular ring, since it is a bit problematic. This design is a bit problematic to describe because it takes some spatial perception, and that means […]
I thought that Joel over at the Life Goggles blog put together a really great post that threw together several blogs and sites very applicable to this site: Green Link Love - Other Great Green Sites 2. (We can forgive him for leaving me out. Seriously, though, he invites people to tell him what to […]
Last Scrap Rubber Ring Post I explained about measuring and cutting the rubber for your ring. This time, I’m going to help you finish it off.
First, figure out which side of the rubber is the inside and which is the outside, for both pieces. Next, lay one piece exactly on top of the other with […]
Sometimes, people’s creativity just plan makes me wonder. Such is the case with the pictured item.
The simplicity of this particular invention is in the design.
Thought the creator of this project (I found the picture and story here) seems to have simply removed all of the guts from an old Walkman style tape player. As we […]
