Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

Baby Bottle Cozy

With new mommas growing more and more conscious of the types of items they pick up for baby, plastic baby bottles are going the way of the glass bottle. Great for keeping harmful toxins from plastic out of baby’s system, but not so great for clumsy people (like myself) who stand to drop the bottle or grab it while it’s still hot.

If you know a momma who’s having a shower this spring, chances are she’s registered for some fabulous glass baby bottles, not even thinking about these things. So do her a favor and help her out before she even knows she needs it!

Grab some of your leftovers from your yarn stash and whip up a few of these adorable baby bottle cozies for all the spring baby showers you’ll be attending, and be sure to include a little note with care instructions – as these are made out of cotton yarn, new mommas will appreciate the wash/dry ease of them!

Handmade with a Past: Tuesday’s Top Recycled Etsy Find

Let’s talk about a quiet little hero in the kitchen: the humble trivet. But not just any trivet — this set of 4 recycled plastic square trivets is a modern, minimalist dream made from 100% recycled household plastic. Yep, the same plastic that might’ve ended up in landfill is now protecting your benchtops in style. That’s a win.

I have to admit, I get a little thrill when practical things are also eco-friendly and just plain good-looking. These remind me of the ones I picked up at a zero-waste store in Melbourne — sleek, colorful, and almost too pretty to put a hot pot on. Almost.

Each one is handcrafted in small batches, with flecks of color that tell the story of what it used to be — lids, containers, maybe even your old shampoo bottle. It’s like modern terrazzo meets sustainable design. Perfect for gifting to a housewarming host or just treating your own kitchen to something that feels good and does good

Why we’re obsessed:

  • Made entirely from recycled household plastics

  • Each piece is uniquely speckled and full of character

  • A perfect match for eco-conscious kitchens, minimalist decor, and zero-waste living

Small item, big impact. And every time you set down your coffee pot or casserole dish, you’ll get that sweet little “I did something good today” feeling.
