DIY Laundry Detergent, Tiered Serving Trays, and More: The Budget Casa

Check out some home decor and home care tips from our blog, The Budget Casa!

-- Save gallons of money (you’ll get the pun in a second) on laundry detergent by making your own! You’ll need soap flakes, washing soda, and Borax. It’s cheaper, eco-friendly, and friendlier than bleach to your clothes.

-- Put together a tiered serving tray for a much classier, restaurant-style look for dessert or cocktail hour at your parties. Instead of buying an expensive one, use items you already own and pull a quick DIY.

-- Save money on bath decor from K-mart. Sure, Martha Stewart was once in prison, but she does design cute soap dishes.
