Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure
Over at The Long Thread there is a great tutorial on how to give a mouse pad a 10-minute makeover. I think this is a great idea for two reasons, there are tons of old dingy mouse pads lurking around that could be kept out of the trash with a scrap of paper or fabric and second who’s desk couldn’t use a little fresh decor?
You know when you throw on something and suddenly feel like you’ve traveled somewhere soulful and sun-soaked? That’s exactly the vibe of this patch sari kimono jacket—handmade from recycled vintage saris and bursting with history, texture, and bohemian elegance.
Each robe is stitched from salvaged sari fabric, and you can actually feel the stories in the layers—like it’s already lived a few lifetimes before landing in your wardrobe. I once picked up a similar piece on a market trip years ago, and every time I wore it, strangers would stop me to ask where it came from. This one? It’s got that energy.
This beauty is more than just clothing—it’s a walking love letter to sustainable fashion, slow design, and upcycled style with soul. It’s roomy, relaxed, and unapologetically bold. Whether you’re wearing it over jeans, swimwear, or just floating around your house pretending you live in a Bali treehouse (guilty ), this piece turns every moment into a mood.
Why we’re swooning over it:
Crafted from recycled sari fabric, giving textiles a second life
Each one is completely unique—no fast fashion clones here
Perfect for eco-conscious fashionistas and free-spirited souls
Wrap yourself in recycled beauty that feels as good as it looks. It’s wearable art, and it’s ready to tell your story next.
