Here are some things I learned on my money saving ezine:

Wallpaper is great for making bulletin boards, book covers, trimming small and large mirrors, or drawer liners.

Teacups: Do you have teacups that no longer have saucers? They are perfect for filling with things such as candy or teabags, then wrapping with cellophane and tying with leftover ribbon or a bow for an instant gift.

Soap: Those thin slivers of soap can be used for lubricating screws and drawers that stick. I also know someone who filled a large clear jar with them and used it as a decorative piece in their bathroom. Beautiful!

Butter and Margarine Wrappers: Handy for greasing pans. You can put them in a baggie and keep
them in the refrigerator or freezer. Just pull one out when needed.
