Who knows, they might just inspire you for your next project!
1 - Upcycling and reuse: from old to new
Sustainability is becoming increasingly important, which is why upcycling is perhaps the trend of the moment. Why throw away old stuff when you can give it a new life? Upcycling is about creatively reusing materials to make something beautiful out of them. Think of:
- Pimp old furniture with a lick of paint and new handles
- Transform old jeans into handy bags or cushions
- Convert empty glass jars into fun storage jars, candle holders or mini vases
Take a good look around your home for things you no longer use. With a little creativity you can make something unique out of it! 
2 - Homemade cleaning and beauty products
And do you want to live more consciously and use less plastic? Then make your own cleaning and/or beauty products! It's easier than you think and better for the environment. For example, try:
- Homemade candles with your favorite scents
- Scrubs and bath salts with natural ingredients such as sugar, salt, coconut oil and essential oils
- Eco-friendly all-purpose cleaner with vinegar, lemon and baking soda
Not only good for your home, but also a fun DIY project to do with friends or your (teenage) daughter.
