Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure
If you happen to get a heart shaped box of chocolates this Valentine’s day (or you go out the day after Valentine’s day and buy a box for half price) here is a great way to recycle it after you have enjoyed the chocolates. I bet this would be a fun project to make one piece each day. Pop on over to the blog Idea Stand for more art therapy ideas including this art in a recycled heart chocolate box.
Looking for a fun and eco-friendly DIY project that can transform your living space without breaking the bank? The DIY Wire Spool Coffee Table from Twelve On Main is just the thing!

It’s a fun way to show off your creative skills and make a piece of furniture that’s totally one-of-a-kind.
But let’s be real: DIY furniture projects can sometimes feel overwhelming. The good news is that this wire spool coffee table is surprisingly easy to make, even if you’re not a seasoned DIY-er. The step-by-step instructions provided by Twelve On Main are super straightforward, and with just a few tools, you’ll have a beautiful coffee table that will wow your guests and be a great conversation starter.
You know, this gives me an idea for something else using candy boxes! I get the Whitman’s brand box chocolates in sugar free for the hubs. I’ve kept a pile of them thinking they would be good for some sort of crafts (they look like cigar boxes). You could use each half as a shadow box display on the wall for small things. I have a collection of seashell animals that have needed a wall hung display for years and this is what I’m going to do for them now. Thanks for posting great ideas that inspire me.
