We asked readers to share their stories and experiences with DIY projects. Most of the stories we received were created using recycled building materials. If you’re looking for some do-it-yourself projects to keep you busy, here are a few suggestions from Capper’s Farmer readers.
DIY Projects from Recycled Materials

We want to hear your story
We want to hear what old wives’ tales were popular in your family. Did — or do — you believe them? What makes you believe or disbelieve them? How long have they been passed down through the family?
Send us your old wives’ tale stories, with a photograph or two (jpeg, at least 300 dpi) if available, and we’ll publish our favorites in a future issue. We’ll also feature a few here on our website. Email your stories and photos to tsmith@cappersfarmer.com or send them to Capper’s Farmer Editorial, Attn: Heart of the Home Department, 1503 S.W. 42nd St., Topeka, KS 66609.
