Make your own reusable tissues

Here's a simple way to save trees, waste and money. If the idea of using a tree to blow your nose doesn't sit well with you, make your own reusable tissues! It's simple, cheap, upcycles old cloth and no trees are pulped in the process.

Head on down to your local thrift store or your closet and find some soft bandanas, an old t-shirt or cotton scarf. Wash the fabric and cut it into tissue-sized squares. Use, wash and reuse. That's it!

These make nice gifts too: find funny or fancy cloths to make tissue sets for your sniffly friends and family members!
