Default Re: What frugal thing did you do today?

Today, I was Little Miss Domesticity:

1) I cut open an empty toothpaste tube, cleaned it and cut it into tiny squares. Punctured the center of each square. Now I have enough homemade frosty silver sequins to decorate a holiday ornament. It will be a puffy, pillow-like light blue star. The non-silver side of the sequins look cool, too. Could use that side if the project were diferent.

2) Since I mentioned it on another thread, I was motivated cut two matching blue and white checked men's shirts into napkin size. Might sew the edges later tonight, but probably tomorrow. New stack of cloth napkins.

3) Put out my winter sofa pillows---they are the same as my summer pillows. I just have winter theme panels that I cover them with each year. When spring comes, I open the stitching and pull out the pillow, wash the covers and put them away for the next 9 months. No need to store away bulky pillows, yet I get to enjoy special themed ones. I also have Thanksgiving themed covers, but I forgot to put those on this year.

4) Re-glued the handle on a candy dish. It doesn't show, but I'm not sure if I can trust the meld.
