  Love that idea of the scarf out of old sweaters. apparently you can just unwind old sweaters to reuse the yarn.

  Heres one go to wal mart buy CHEAP flease 5 yards one color 5 yards another then go along the ends cutting 1 in slits it in on both colors of flease then tie them together in a knot when your done you will have made a flease blanket with fring.. Tip: It only takes 2 hours to make one you can also use ribbon to hide the knots just tie them in a knot over it and it will look like little bows!!

  Take a garden magazine look for pretty pictures. Take a small envelope, carefully take it apart. Trace shape of envelope on selected page, cut, fold, and put back together with tape. Also works excellent with last year's calendars. I have sprayed paint on new kitty litter to make a border for a picture for a little boy's room.

  don't forget about quilts. you can recycle old clothes, sheets and blankets, almost any fabric can be sewn into quilts. when my dad died i cut up a bunch of his shirts and made a quilt.and it reminds me of him.

  I noticed that the comments from "lame" "spelling Error" etc, did not put forward an idea! Perhaps instead of putting people down you might submit a green project and be part of the conversation. Some nice and cute ideas submitted, thank you. Lets play nice people...

  How about this one? Instead of purchasing a gift for friends and loved ones -- DONATE MONEY in their name to a charitable, GREEN FOUNDATION!

  I agree with 'Wise Woman'...remember what you were taught..."If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all".
