  • They started out as plain glasses from Dollar Tree.

  • This is the piece of silverware that started this odd addiction.
  • First you need to find some silverware suitable for stamping. In my experience it seems like silverplated silverware is easier to stamp than stainless steel.  Vintage silverplate can be found at thrift stores, estate sales, etc. 1
  • I bought my 36 piece 1/8" steel stamping set at Harbor Freight.  The regular price is around $10, but is frequently on sale for around $5.  The stamps are long pieces of steel with a letter or number on the end.

DIY Powdered Laundry Detergent

I made this recipe of laundry detergent for $2.49, which lasted a month for my family of 5 - roughly 40 loads of laundry. I have been very happy with how clean out clothes are and it's great for my kids who have skin allergies.

  • Household vinegar will NOT kill weeds.  Read how to REALLY kill weeds with vinegar.
  • You need at least a 10-20% vinegar plus horticultural orange oil (or other citrus oil)
  • You need to apply it with a spray bottle when the sun is bright, the ground is dry, and the temperature is above 70-degrees.
