I love using Post-it Sticky Notes. I use it at work and for personal reminders. I like its different colors, in fact the colorful the better. Paper cubes and Post-it sticky notes are life saver to someone like me who likes constant reminders of “to do.” So when I saw the new Post-it sticky notes made from recycled paper, I was elated. I was starting to feel guilty using too much paper. Although its made from only 30% recycled paper, 3M is eco-friendly.  The best part is, paper cubes made from 100% recycled paper is now available!!! Now I can use Post-it sticky notes and paper cubes without feeling guilty.

Whenever I go out be it to work, malling, out of town trips, you name it, I always have candies in my bag, either Tic-tac, Mentos, or individually wrapped chocolate mint candies. Its a good way to beat hunger plus I don’t pig out when its time to eat lunch or dinner. So when I saw this Candy Wrapper Clutch, I was like WOW! I can’t tell immediately if its really made of candy wrappers, but it is! Designed by Nahui Ollin, it is hand-woven and approximately made of 700 candy wrappers. I was instantly inspired to make my own candy wrapper clutch bag. Right now, I collected about 50 assorted candy wrappers from co-workers and family as well. I am still thinking how to make this candy wrapper clutch, but I know I can do it. I will post my finish product and the DIY guide. (wish me luck) :D But if you cannot wait and have no patience to DIY this fab clutch that you can use anytime of the day, you can buy it now for only $55.20. You will not only look fab and pretty with this clutch, but also help in taking care of our planet earth. ]]> http://fengshui.gigissandbox.com/2008/07/15/candy-wrapper-clutch/feed/ 0 Old Chair turned into fab Moss Chair http://fengshui.gigissandbox.com/2008/07/11/recycled-chair-to-fab-moss-chair/ http://fengshui.gigissandbox.com/2008/07/11/recycled-chair-to-fab-moss-chair/#comments Thu, 10 Jul 2008 16:32:20 +0000 Gigi http://fengshui.gigissandbox.com/?p=191 Recently, I’m really into eco-friendly stuff.

I feel excited and happy whenever I see stuff that are made of recycled materials. My love for eco-friendly stuff started when mickey mouse introduced me to Shipping Container homes. I was amazed how its possible to turn shipping containers that are almost considered junks turned into fab homes. So in my spare time, aside from Feng Shui you will see me surfing for do-it-yourself eco-friendly products. Its about time I start doing my part in conserving our natural resources. I’m sure, you would like to do that too. So when I saw this Moss chair found by casasugar, designed by 22-yrs old designer named Kyle Schuneman, I was like Wow! Cool, awesome but yikes! I don’t think I can sit in that chair.

But calmed down, its not for sitting. Its a piece of art that you can put in your home, garden, patio, etc. I didn’t know mosses can be a good decorative plant too. In Japanese gardens, they use mosses in bonsai pots. But this is an example that although moss sometimes gross me out, it has hidden beauty.

So you want to make your own moss chair? Here’s how. I bet your neighbors will break their necks looking at your fab moss chair.

Find a funky old chair and moss that are easy to grow, maintain and eco-friendly. I think this is very creative and a great conversation piece. Thanks to Mr. Schuneman for sharing his design. Happy mossing!
