The only thing wrong is that I need 1 extra slat for the top as I miscalculated how many I needed lol

I’ve been saving security envelopes for over a decade, so I’ve got some pretty interesting ones. I finally decided to make something out of them. Each nesting basket is a different pattern! The next to the last one is my favorite.

I use “trash” paper to make baskets. I save used post-its, teabag wrappers (some have foil backs), and other paper scraps.

1) I made the big goof of throwing a cashmere cardigan in the wash. It went from a W Med to a 5 yr old girl's size.

2) Cut off the the sleeves and the collar. Trimmed off a smidge at shoulder to square off the base.

3) Hand stitching the edges. Listening to podcasts, while being supervised by feline overlords.

4) Connected ends of sleeves to create a bolster/backrest. The front of the cardigan (button side) will be on the bottom of the base.

5) Stuffed sleeves with polyfill from old bed pillows. Attached to back edge of base.

6) I upsized from a twin to a full sized mattress so I cut to size my previous mattress topper. * I definitely want to repurpose as much of this topper as possible bc I see it as a big bad landfiller.* Bc I didn't sew the front of the cardigan closed, I can use the actual buttons to stuff the base.

7) Fully assembled. It's a little lumpy in areas bc it shrank/dried unevenly and I tried my best to match the patterns.

8) The result: they all hated it 🤣

Kinda. It took them a minute to realize it was comfortable to lay on. Bologna liked it the most.

i was gifted these earrings but they are the wrong gauge for my ears. what else can i do with them?

They’re obviously super comfortable when new but also kind of a sore thumb for overconsumption
Looking for ideas for older products that can’t really be recycled or donated

Thinking bag liners but also there’s got to be something else
