List of Honors:

For the service, in each player book there is usually a piece of paper that says who in the b'nei mitzvah's family is dong what prayer or honor.
I REALLY didn't want to waste all those sheets of paper, so we decided on something MUCH more resourceful:
We cut cereal boxes into strips and silk-screened the honors onto that! My dad got a video of me making some:

Instead of buying new kippot, we reused some from other family events. We made a linoleum stamp for my bat mitzvah and stamped them with Speedball ink. We collected the old ones from various friends and family and in this way we are remembering the past while celebrating today. We had one from my uncle Paul's bar mitzvah in 1956!

Placecards:

For my Bat Mitzvah party, we have made placecards out of old cardboard boxes so that we don't waste paper. We used unpressed bottle caps to write the table numbers in.

Votives:

One of the things that we are doing for my bat mitzvah is making votives for the tables at my bat mitzvah. We used old tin cans and cut designs in them with a plasma-cutter! (Thank you to Andrea for letting us use her plasma-cutter!)

Here's a photo of me at Andrea's house making the votives:
