  5. I love sassafrass creations (sassafrascreations.etsy.com, an esty store that has jewelry, key rings, etc. made from old knitting needles. It’s a really interesting way to use re-use the needles.

  7. I love this site! Amazing inspiration and fabulous ideas! Check out my site for a tutorial on how to make coin purses out of milk cartons.

  10. The interest in crafts from recycled material is growing slowly in Sweden where I live, luckily there are so much to be found on the internet, like this blog.
    I have submitted an URL to a Swedish website from a girl who has published a book on recycled textile crafts because I think her webbshop is a nice example of how you can display and (re)sell recycled and vintage craft materials.

This DIY Board Game Table Made Me Want to Dust Off My Cricut

You know that feeling when you see a project and instantly start mentally rearranging your whole weekend to fit it in? That was me with The Carpenter’s Daughter’s DIY Board Game Table tutorial. I mean, it’s so good. Functional, stylish, and honestly—such a conversation starter.

It’s the kind of piece that looks high-end, but she breaks it down step-by-step in a way that makes it totally achievable, even if you’re not a woodworking wizard. And if you’ve got a Cricut machine (like I do, gathering dust in the corner), this is your cue to plug it in and actually use it. She used hers to create the game board top, and it adds such a clean, custom finish.

I never really thought about how handy a built-in game board could be—no more shuffling Monopoly pieces off the kitchen table when it’s time for dinner! It’s perfect for families, game nights with friends, or even just a cool coffee table alternative with a little hidden fun.

What I Love About This Project:

  • It doubles as a gorgeous piece of furniture.

  • You can totally customize the games—checkers, chess, tic-tac-toe, you name it.

  • It’s an awesome way to up your Cricut game (seriously, I’ve been inspired).

  • And let’s be honest—it’s a great excuse to get crafty and competitive.

If you’re looking for a project with style and function, check out the full tutorial here. Fair warning though—you’ll probably end up wanting to make more than one.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to charge my Cricut and pretend I know how to play chess again…
