Handy Girls, it’s time to think about how we can all amp up the green on our DIYing. Remember: Big goals are great, but small switches add up. Here’s how to figure out what you can do, from sweating the small stuff (hello, trash) to diving deep into the big choices (lumber, I’m looking at you). THE BIG PICTURE IF YOU START TO DIG INTO THE ECO SIDE OF THE DIY WORLD, YOU MAY HEAR PHRASES LIKE “CRADLE TO GRAVE” AND “CRADLE TO CRADLE.” THAT MEANS SIMPLY THINKING ABOUT MORE THAN THE PRODUCT ON THE SHELVES AND THE CHOICE IN FRONT OF YOU. HERE ARE SOME KEY CONSIDERATIONS: What it takes to make a product. What does the manufacturing process look like? What it takes to get a product to…

MOD INFLUENCES Jarrod and Stacy Allen look to Scandinavia, Japan, and Australia for modern design ideas. They built the living room credenza out of IKEA cabinets and mounted it to float above the floor for a clean look sans legs, this photo. FOR ONE OF HIS FIRST HOME PROJECTS, JARROD ALLEN WENT TO THE BANK, HANDED OVER $5 AND ASKED FOR CHANGE: “CAN I HAVE IT ALL IN NICKELS, PLEASE?” HE ASKED. AFTER YEARS SPENT EMPTYING WALLETS, looking under sofa cushions, and asking kids Jude and Eva to search their piggy banks, the change finally yielded enough five-cent spacers for him to install the kitchen wall planks. Nickels for nickel-gap paneling—not every DIYer leans so much toward authenticity, but Jarrod does. As a product designer, he makes a living smoothing…

FLAVORFUL LEAVES Hours of bright, direct sunlight make south-facing windows ideal for growing favorite culinary herbs. Maximize growing space in a small window with the help of shelves, this photo. Polished-edge glass shelves balanced on simple matte-brass brackets keep the attention on the plants. Fill a variety of pots with herbs like mint, sage, thyme, and parsley, as well as microgreens. You’ll create a bright focal point that also makes for easy snipping. GROW A STAYCATION Large east-facing windows welcome soft morning light, perfect for growing your own tropical getaway year-round, above. When choosing plants for your window jungle, diversity is key to creating a tropical vibe. Aim to bring together a mix of leaf shapes, sizes, and patterns. A few dramatically large plants—such as bird-of-paradise (far left) and elephant’s…

CYNTHIA ALBERTO STARTED HER CAREER AS A PAINTER, BUT AFTER TAKING CLASSES IN WEAVING SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH FIBER ARTISTRY. IN 2006 SHE OPENED WEAVING HAND, A BROOKLYN SHOP THAT TEACHES CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS, CREATES COMMISSIONS, AND SELLS WEAVING SUPPLIES. CYNTHIA FOCUSES ON HOW WEAVING CAN BE HEALING AND HOW TO CREATE ZERO WASTE AND THINK SUSTAINABLY WHEN MAKING WEAVING PROJECTS. THE MAKER: CYNTHIA ALBERTO The owner of Weaving Hand focuses on how to bring a community together through fiber crafting. O: What influences your work? A: My own personal work centers on activism to make sure we are healing the community while infusing how to make fiber arts with zero waste. The value of crafts is being put in a whole different light now—we want to make sure…

CIRCLE STYLE Add geometric drama with a yarn-wrapped fixture, this photo. Glue the top of a 12-inch-diameter wood wreath ring to the inside edge of a 16-inch-diameter ring; clamp until dry. Cut a second set of 12- and 16-inch rings in half. Arrange the halves of the large ring so they’re perpendicular to the same-size uncut one; glue and pin-nail in place to hold as the glue dries. Repeat with the small wreath rings. Cut a ½-inch square dowel into four 1-inch lengths. To reinforce the build, adhere one dowel length at each corner at the top where the rings converge. Spray-paint in desired color. Once dry, drill a hole the size of the pendant light cord into the top. Cut the plug from the pendant light; feed the cord’s…

DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH An ikat-inspired design lends Moroccan style to a plain wood vase, this photo. Use a pencil to draw diamond shapes on the vase, or use a diamond pattern stencil and a ruler to mark placement more precisely. With a flow tip on the woodburning tool, sweep the tip back and forth about ¼ inch in a tight zigzag over the pencil lines until each diamond shape is drawn. Use a shading tip to fill in the diamond, alternating the direction of the tip upward for a pass then downward until filled. Erase any remaining pencil lines. IN FULL BLOOM Give an unfinished wood caddy a fresh botanical outlook, above. Use a pencil to draw flowers on all corners of the caddy. Trace the pencil lines using…

GOOD TIDINGS Look to nature for fresh items that don’t cost a bundle, this photo. Evergreens, tallow and hypericum berries, moss, eucalyptus, pinecones, cranberries, birch branches, and cinnamon sticks bring outdoor beauty inside. What you can’t find on a walk is sold online or at crafts stores. MAKE SPIRITS BRIGHT Everyday hurricane lanterns take on a cheerful glow in minutes with fresh crowns of greens and berries, above. Wire favorite greenery and white berries into a garland or weave in juniper berries or fresh herbs for a sweet scent. MAKE IT MUSHROOM ORNAMENTS MATERIALS • Jar caps in variety of sizes• Paintable molding clay• Roller• Hot-glue gun and glue sticks• Acrylic crafts paint in red, orange, yellow, green, and brown• Paintbrush• Furniture wax• Decoupage medium (We used Mod Podge.)• Glitter•…

THERE’S NOT A WALL, FLOOR, OR WINDOW THAT DIDN’T RECEIVE SOME TLC FROM JEFF AND CATHERINE WHITTAKER when they overhauled their Charlotte ranch. The couple honored the home’s ’70s heritage (and saved major money) by rescuing vintage furniture from thrift stores and estate sales, refreshing scores from Craigslist and Facebook, and reusing existing pieces for the couple and their three girls, Hazel, 8, and 6-year-old twins Margot and Louise. “We tried to blend new and old in our renovation and in decorating the house—a mix of modern and vintage just gives you a collected feel that’s really unique,” says Catherine, an interior designer with Design Post Interiors. “Jeff and I are of the mind-set that if you can incorporate even a few pieces of vintage furniture or elements original to…
