May Instructables

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

We now join Elyse for her monthly review of favorite Instructables.

Some awesome Instructables have turned up in my email lately – check ‘em out!

Who loves garage sales, thrift stores, and water fountains?  I do!  Combine your favorite things into one with the “How to make a Three Tiered Garden Fountain” Instructable.  It’s definitely got class – just add a solar-powered fountain pump to make it even more sustainable.

Who has ever cooked in a solar over?  I have and it was easy-peasy!  Consider this idea: instead of microwaving your lunch at work, just set your lunch in your solar oven an hour before lunchtime and you’ll have a hot, healthy meal to eat in no time!  I’ve heard some questionable things about the safety of microwaves anyway.  Go build a solar oven today!

And finally, I couldn’t pass this instructable up – these pretzels just look so tasty!  You don’t have to pay to go to a professional sporting event just to get pretzels ever again.  Just make them at home and don’t forget to share.

If you are a supporter of greenlightzine.org and you’ve ever created an Instructable – let us know!  We’d love to include it in our blog.
