So much waste happens in the kitchen it’s almost unreal. There is not only food to think about, but also all the disposable products we use in there from paper towels to plastic-ware and so many of these things can be made and reused.
I admit to not being that great with a sewing machine and I am super envious of anyone that can use one with grace. (I can’t even get past the threading part.) There are so many things on this list that I would love to make but I simply don’t have the patience. I still think they are so worth while for others, though, so I made a roundup of them to share in hopes that I will one day be able to use a machine and sew a masterpiece (or maybe just a reusable paper towel). Here are fun things to make your kitchen more green or crafts for your kitchen with re-purposed items.
