Ever wonder what to do with all those annoying Styrofoam packing peanuts? Try something a bit fun: Buy an empty beanbag chair cover and fill it up! If you don't have enough peanuts to fill up a chair, ask friends, family and co-workers. They are sure to have packing peanuts that they'll be glad to contribute to your chair-building project.

Lots of shirts come with a small packet of spare buttons just in case one comes loose. The problem? Many of us toss the buttons into the junk drawer and never end up using them. So grab all those buttons, some strong adhesive glue (like Krazy Glue) and a bunch of thumbtacks. Glue a button to a thumbtack and let it dry. Stick them on a cork message board to decoratively keep memos, invitations and other important papers nice and neat.

If you wear baseball caps (or know someone who does), they can become smelly and dirty rather quickly, especially if you make a habit of working out while wearing one. Washing a baseball cap is obviously greener than buying a new one, but how do you do it without ruining its shape? Your dishwasher, of course. Just place it inside your dishwasher sans detergent and run it on a regular cycle. After washing, stuff the inside with newspaper and let it air-dry. Good as new!
