At the end of a wedding, one custom includes throwing confetti or rice at the bride and groom. This can be problematic since dried rice can make wildlife sick and paper confetti can be almost impossible to clean up. One solution is to buy organic grass seed to toss instead. Grass seed is safe to throw, and it will land on a lawn that likely needs to be reseeded after the event.

Bored with your white lampshade? Give it a splash of color and a custom look that only takes a few minutes to make. Fill a spray bottle with hot water and a few drops of fabric dye. Test the color on a scrap of fabric to see if you like it. If you do, take the shade outside and spray it with the dye solution until it's saturated. Once it dries, you'll have a unique look to light up your home.

Disposable wet mops have become popular for their convenience and ease around the house. But the throwaway pads can be wasteful and expensive too. Save the mop, but skip buying new pads by saving old T-shirts and using them instead. Simply cut a T-shirt in half and wrap it around the head of the mop. Spray a natural cleaner on the floor and mop away. T-shirts are machine washable and can be used over and over to keep your floors sparkling clean.
