]]> When we think of crafting we often think of it as child’s play, but actually, it has been proven to be an amazing way to relieve stress, insomnia, and depression. It also can be a way to make new friends and save items around the home that you otherwise would have thrown in the trash. Here are four crafts that you can make as an adult.

Painted Wine Bottle Vases

Who doesn’t love a glass of wine after a hard day’s work? But what do you do with the wine bottle when it’s empty? You put it in the trash, of course. But why not save them to paint and use them as vases? We’re sure there has been a time you received flowers and had nowhere to put them. Well, with your beautifully decorated wine bottles you will always have a place.

DIY Hanging Wall Shelf

All you need is a piece of wood and some macrame cord and a drill if you want to secure it to the wall. You can choose any wood you want and color. Make four small holes with a drill on each corner and then thread through the string, connect it to a macrame ring, and then put it onto a hook in the wall. Add some pretty plants or small books.

Recycled CD Coasters

We all have those CDs sitting in our living room collecting dust, so instead of throwing them away, why not cover them in fabric or paint them and make them coasters for your drinks? Add some stones, make them glossy or matt, whatever your design choice is, make it fun!

Fabric Covered Plant Pots

What can you do with all that leftover fabric you have from costumes you once made? Why not cover your plant pots with it? All you need is some plain plant pots, fabric, and mod podge and you will have a fantastic fabric-covered plant pot to brighten up your home.

]]> Decorating your home can become pricey and time-consuming, but to cut costs and time, you can use what you already have and paint it to put in another part of your home.

An old wood bedstand can be repainted in a beautiful, bright color to match your new décor, or broken down to make some fun shelves. Glass jars can become candles or table decorations, fruit boxes can be painted and mounted on the wall as cubby holes for your kids’ room. There are endless ways to use what you have and make it functional again.

Here are 5 easy ways to recycle things you have around the house to give your home a new look.

Re-Paint a Wooden Dresser

If you have an old wooden nightstand or dresser that is on its last legs, don’t throw it out, repair it and give it a new coat of paint. It will totally change the look and make it more desirable again. You can put it in the hallway for people to throw their keys on it, or keep it in the bedroom and change the handles to make it more modern.

Reupholster a Chair

If you are decorating your dining room but don’t want to buy a new table and chairs you can transform them by re-staining the wood or reupholstering the fabric. This will give the whole room a new look and will be cheaper in the long run.

Recycle Glass Bottles

You probably have lots of used glass bottles and jars in your kitchen from finished food and drink. Don’t throw them away, clean them out and use them as vases, candle holders or fill them with pretty pebbles and put them on your coffee table for some decoration.

]]> A home office uses power and other consumables. Here are some tips to make your home office operations as green as possible:

Power usage

The warming and cooling measures you take apply to the whole house, even though you are occupying only a small part of it. Close off vents that lead to unused rooms.

Use shades to keep your office cooler so you don’t spend too much running your air conditioning.

Quality lighting

Use energy-efficient lighting in your home office area. Consider LED lighting which consumes less electricity or making use of compact fluorescent lights (CFLs).

Use fewer lights, but make sure you get good quality lighting them.

Recycling

Don’t think paper only. Recycle old office equipment and furniture. Find an electronics recycler or a worthy cause for your old electronics and printer cartridges.

Buy second-hand items yourself if you can find what is suitable for you. Avoid plastic items as they are hard to recycle.

Paperless

Where you can, go paperless. Use a scanner to keep copies of documents and recycle the paper.

If you receive electronic documents, resist the urge to print them. Save them on your computer.
