If you buy things to any extent, you’ve probably got some leftover packaging hanging around. What are some cool ways you’ve found to make use of all these materials? Special props to ideas that can be replicated!

    I am making a mental note on this. I once lived in a place where getting dirt was so nearly impossible, and compost seemingly was the only way to produce more outside of just importing it. I have always found this kind of stuff so interesting. I plan on living in the middle of nowhere again at some point soon, and need to put this somewhere in the depths of my brain-bin for future reference. Thank you for not only sharing, but also providing awesome links. I am going to scour them. Cheers and keep being awesome =)!

    Hey there, took a look at all of these resources. I had no clue that cutter existed, but it looks quite lovely. Once upon a life ago I used to use box cutters to hand cut a lot of precision things. I still take immense joy from doing so, and have pretty much been cannibalizing everything with an x-acto. I gotta share this guy and see if maybe it’ll be a good fit for our household now or later. On the shroomies, looks like you got a good grow with just the boiled cardboard. Gotta love fresh oyster mushrooms =)

    Also I think I gotta make one of those finger-friendly cutters because it’s just to cute and tinker-y not to. Thanks again for the share!

      You’re so welcome!

      Hit me up with questions here or in DM if you’d like. I’ve gone down so many rabbit holes on this topic. It would be fun to share and interact with someone else who got excited about it as well.
