Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

Giveaway and review of Cloth Paper Scissors: Studios

by

I have another National Craft Month fun giveaway for you today. Leave a comment in today’s post by Midnight Wednesday March 30, 2011 and you are entered to win a copy of the eye-candy filled Cloth Paper Scissors Studios Spring 2011 magazine from the great people at Interweave Press.

This issue is filled with inside peeks into all sorts of artists’ studio spaces. What is so fun about this is you get to see how people like ourselves store, display and arrange their “stuff” along with where their magic happens. I can’t wait to implement some of the pretty ways these creative peeps have come up with to keep their stuff in a way that lets them enjoy it as much before it gets used as during and after it is part of a project.

It’s the perfect conversation starter, and honestly, it brings a certain wow factor to any dinner party or casual gathering.

This cheese board isn’t just pretty; it’s practical too. The smooth surface is ideal for serving everything from crackers to fruit to your favorite cheeses. Plus, it’s an awesome example of recycling and upcycling, keeping those old bottles out of landfills while elevating your entertaining game.

Why we love it:

  • Made from recycled flat wine bottles, adding sustainability to your kitchen

  • A unique upcycled home decor item that’s also super functional

  • Ideal for wine lovers, eco-conscious hosts, or anyone who loves a good cheese board

Not only does this board make for a stylish and sustainable addition to your kitchen, but it also makes for an awesome gift for those who love eco-friendly entertaining.
