Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure
A lot of times old art supplies like watercolors, ink and other paints can get a new life with glycerin
. Over at Einat Kessler’s blog there is a great list of ways to use glycerin to rejuvenate all sorts of art supplies and make some from scratch. It is really a useful item to have on hand in the art studio or craft room.
These upcycled drinking glasses are such a fun and meaningful addition to my kitchen! I originally bought them because I’m trying to make more eco-conscious choices, but they’ve turned out to be so much more than just “sustainable.” They’re genuinely beautiful—each one is slightly different, which just adds to their charm. You can really tell they’ve been made from repurposed bottles (in the best way), and that story makes them a great conversation piece when guests are over.
They’re surprisingly sturdy too—not flimsy or thin like I half-expected. I’ve been using them daily for everything from iced coffee to juice, and they wash up really well without clouding or scratching.
Honestly, it feels good to drink from something that’s not only stylish but also has a positive impact. If you’re looking for a gift with meaning or just want to treat yourself while treading a little lighter on the planet, these are a win. They also have a frosted version too.
