Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

by

I have yet to dive into the world of eco-friendly Christmas crafting but I must say, the Eco-Christmas Craft Book has me itching to start. With 30 stylish and festive projects, I can create beautiful decorations while doing my part to protect the planet. The best part? All the materials used in the book can be found easily and inexpensively, such as cardboard, newspaper, wine bottle corks, twigs, and pine cones.

The book includes everything you need to make your own unique, beautiful Christmas décor including tree decorations, advent items, Christmas cards, table decorations, wreaths, and more. The possibilities are endless and I love the idea of being able to choose my own color scheme each year and make new decorations using the same recyclable materials.

The author provides clear, easy-to-follow instructions and each project is accompanied by inspiring photos of the finished product. The book even provides ideas for other projects to create, making it a treasure trove of eco-friendly Christmas inspiration.

I haven’t made anything from the book yet, but I can’t wait to start. It’s a great way to get into the holiday spirit and do my part for the planet at the same time. So if you’re looking for a way to make beautiful, stylish decorations for the holidays while also being eco-friendly, this book is a must-have!

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.
