DIY for Environmentalists: Crafting, Making, Project How-to's, and more!
What gift is complete with out a sweet, sentimental card to go with it? The video tute above calls for new origami paper, but you can make your card using junk mail instead to green this project right up. Security envelopes would make an especially cool necktie and shirt, don’t you think? Especially if you mixed up a couple of different patterns.
So, spill it, crafty peeps! What projects do you have in the works for Father’s Day?

Hello! My name is Bonnie Getchell and overall, I'm a craft nerd! I love making crafts, re-doing furniture, and anything along those lines. I especially love creating items that are from recycled materials like toilet paper rolls, bottles, etc.
I'm the lucky momma of two little blonde daddy-clones--we spend our days doing elaborate art projects, trashing the house, eating cheese cubes and oranges, and waiting for my partner to get home from his day job so we can pester him.
