Many years ago, I learned that I could save a lot of money just by making my own health, beauty and household cleaning products.
It turns out that most of the things I used to spend extra money to buy are super inexpensive and easy to make yourself.
You’ll find plenty of simple Homemade DIY Projects below that are easy to make.
And they use ingredients that most of us already have in our homes, and they cost a fraction of the products you’d pay for in stores.
Making your own simple products is a great way to save money and control which ingredients you want to use in your homes and on your family.
If you would like to know more about why this is so important to me, please read this blog post I wrote about living toxic free.
Please be sure to check back often, as we are constantly adding more and more projects to the list.
