Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

Embroidery hoop and fabric Christmas tree

by

I am always on the lookout for ways to use my Christmas fabric stash. I have started a Christmas quilt but I’m sad to say it doesn’t make it up to the top of the list to work on much. But this project is so fast and easy it could be just the one to make with a few embroidery hoops and your Christmas fabric stash.

Simply pop in a different fabric into a variety of sizes of embroidery hoops and hot glue them together.

Like I said- easy-peasy! Oh and in case you are wondering that triangle Christmas tree is made from a recycled wool felted sweater and a handmade pompom. Again super easy!!!

Merry crafty Christmas all you recycled crafters!!!

  1. Hi. Great project! I also love the pillow with the pom pom topper shown in the photo, on the chair. Do you offer a tutorial about that pillow?

Art can speak volumes, but it doesn’t have to cost the earth—literally. This recycled artwork, framed and ready to hang, is a perfect example of how beauty can emerge from the unexpected. It’s made from upcycled materials, bringing new life to discarded objects in the most artistic way possible.

This piece has that effortlessly cool, modern feel that I just adore.

Only now, this work is polished, framed, and ready to elevate your home decor. It’s sustainable art with a story to tell.

What’s really great about this kind of art is that it adds character, depth, and meaning to a space. It’s not just a pretty picture; it’s a reminder that beauty can come from reuse and recycling, and it’s a nod to those of us who want to surround ourselves with eco-friendly treasures.

Why we love it:

  • Made from recycled materials

  • Each piece is completely unique and crafted with care

  • A conversation starter for your sustainable home decor or eco-conscious gallery wall

If you’ve been looking to add a touch of meaningful, eco-friendly style to your walls, this recycled artwork is definitely the way to go.
