Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Gather all the materials
I start by collecting all the eco-friendly equipment I've decided to include in my DIY kit. I grab my reusable shopping bags, glass containers for food storage, and my compost bin.
Step 2: Create a fun workspace
Next, I clear off my kitchen table and decorate it with some plant-themed decorations. I want to make this a fun and inspiring environment to create my kit!
Step 3: Sort everything into categories
I line up all the items. I arrange them into categories: storage items like glass containers and beeswax wraps, utensils like stainless steel straws and bamboo utensils, and cleaning supplies like eco-friendly cleaning products.
Step 4: Prep the storage items
Now it’s time to prepare my storage options! I wash the glass containers and dry them, so they’re ready for use. The beeswax wraps are next; I unfold them and make sure they're ready to wrap up food!
Step 5: Add the gardening section
I find a spot for the seed packets for gardening. I love the idea of growing my own herbs and vegetables, so I set aside some planting pots to keep these seeds organized.
Step 6: Include some DIY fun
Now for the fun part! I pull out my DIY natural soap making kit and place it in my kit. I can’t wait to experiment with making my own soap!
Step 7: Hydration station
Next, I set aside my reusable water bottle. It’s so important to stay hydrated, and having this in my kit will remind me to ditch the single-use plastic bottles!
Step 8: Go solar
I also grab my solar-powered charger and place it in the kit. It’s eco-friendly and super handy for charging devices on the go.
Step 9: Laundry time
I don't forget to add my natural laundry detergent. I make sure to store it in an easy-to-reach place, so I can clean my clothes without harming the environment.
Step 10: All about comfort
I add the bath towels made from organic cotton. They’re soft and perfect for eco-conscious baths!
Step 11: Tote it all
I take my jute or hemp tote bag and place all the smaller items inside. This will make transporting my eco-friendly goodies super easy!
Step 12: Final touches with recycled products
Lastly, I include some recycled paper products in my kit. I love using recycled paper for jotting down notes, to-do lists, and more!
Step 13: Show it off!
I step back and admire my eco-friendly kit. It looks amazing and I feel great knowing that I'm making small changes for a better environment!
