Green decorating
In the last 2 posts we talked about green office organizing and green cleaning. Today we are all about eco-friendly decorating.
Craft
Lamps are not only functional units but could be used as decoration.

Better Homes and Gardens have a simple tutorial of an eco-friendly beautiful twig lamp. Collect fallen twigs and keep the natural look
by leaving the twigs as is; add a contemporary flair by spray-painting the twigs before you make the lamp.
In the second issue of PassiFlora we showed how you can make your own candles. To make the jar candles unique and personal follow the instructions from Inspired Ideas

You can use leftover scrapbook paper, ribbons, buttons, or other embellishments.
White walls are by far the hardest thing to decorate. Alexa Westerfield (aka Swelldesigner) showed a fast and easy way to add color to your room decor

Not only this wall mosaic is fun to make but since it is inexpensive you can change the colors (or the medium) very often.
Happy crafting!
