As an eco-friendly gal, I am always looking for ways to re-purpose things around my house. I actually have a problem hoarding small glass jars - pickle jars, olive jars, jelly jars, you name it - because I find them so cute and I just know I can find a new use for them. I usually end up with a massive collection of tiny jars and I think my husband secretly recycles a few every now and then just to get them out of the way, but anyway, I digress. On to the good stuff! This post is all about taking everyday items and finding not-so-typical uses for them in your wedding or event. I hope you enjoy!
Over the course of your engagement, collect corks from
friends and family and turn them into a monogram!
These are from Etsy seller My Happily Ever After 23.
Use an old picture frame to create a table number!
This is something I created with at Eco and Elsie with an old skirt
and some embroidery thread.
That suitcase can be used for more than just traveling!
This unique wedding featured !
I realize not everyone has a big old window laying around,
but this effect is pretty stunning, right?
This was found over at Style Me Pretty.
A little DIY never hurt anyone.
Here you can learn how to take an old crate or wire basket
and turn it into a rustic card box.

Love the window idea - I found a pair at a flea market last year and that's what we're using for our seating chart next week.
That's so great to hear, Kate! It's funny you say that because I was at a flea market last weekend and I saw so many windows just laying around waiting to be bought! I thought if only I could get married again I would totally use it as a seating chart. :) I'd love to see your window in action on the wedding day - feel free to post a link here!
I love this ideas, and they are budget minded as well!
