Take a trip over to Echo’s Voices for inspiration or just to revel in the beautiful art pieces featured there.
Decorating With Popsicle Sticks
Bookshelf Labels
Use clean popsicle sticks to help organize your bookshelves. Write the name of each section on a separate popsicle stick and attach to your bookshelves with removable tape.
Party Buffet Table
Use popsicle sticks to help guests navigate your buffet table. Write the names of cheeses, desserts and other items on clean popsicle sticks and stick into a block of cheese, one of the desserts, or a mound of clay or Play Dough covered with moss or small pebbles.
Scented Linens
I don’t use bar soap but I also don’t like throwing out soap bars that sometimes come my way. One day I noticed how nice one of the bars smelled and so I unwrapped it and placed in in my linen cupboard. Within hours my linens had picked up the scent from the soap bar. Nice!
Tip: don’t place unwrapped soap directly in contact with your towels. The towels’ nap picks up particles of soap which will rub off on your skin when using them after showering.
