Do you buy jello or pudding in a cup from the store. Ever wonder what you could do with it instead of throwing it away and hurting the environment. Well here are a few eco-friendly/green ideas you could do to better our environment and lighten up your life.
You can re-use them for pudding or jello made at home.
You can use them to make home-made soap or candle moulds.
You can Paint a face on them with patio paint, stick them on a scarecrow body for your garden.You could even adapt that decoration anywhere like making birdhouses by cutting a hole out of the mouth part.
You can use them as a kids craft to have them paint faces on them and enjoy their creative sides.
For the gardeners out there always having dirty hands or unable to identify your plants, try this, t ake the small yogurt cups,cut a hole in the bottom about the size of a dime.Stick them on a twig or dowel rod and place them around your plants.Put the tops back on them.Add small pieces of soap inside them.You have a temporary plant barrier that holds soap for washing your hands after gardening.Have you ever thought about cutting shapes like butterflies and stuff out of bleach jug plastic. Cut a slit in the middle of each shape and stick a stick or dowel through to use as plant markers?
You can re use the little cups that jello or pudding comes in to start your seedlings.
You can re use the plastic baby food containers with lids on them and make regular jell-o or pudding and put into those cups. They have a lid on them already and are perfect snack size for kids lunches, etc. You could use the pudding/jell-o cups for the same thing if you aren't having to take them somewhere else they will spill out. If you are careful, you could wrap cling wrap over the top and wrap a rubber band around under the lip of the cup to hold it on.
