Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure
Here is a throw back craft that is also a bit of pop art meets surrealism meets current obsession. I created this tp cozy that looks like a roll of toilet paper back in 2009 and I still keep my tp in it as I don’t have much storage space in my bathroom so I created a bunch of tp cozies. I thought I’d post about this one as maybe you could use a laugh and if you want to make one roll on over to Sweater Surgery for the crochet pattern for a tp cozy that looks like a roll of toilet paper.
You know those random cold snaps that sneak in just when your garden is getting started? Yeah—super frustrating. That’s why we’re loving this clever tip from the folks at Garden Gate Magazine: turn empty soda bottles into mini greenhouses for your plants!
These DIY soda bottle cloches are such a smart (and budget-friendly) way to protect tender seedlings from frost, pests, or heavy rain. They’re also a great little upcycle project—so if you’ve got a few 2-liter bottles lying around, you’re halfway there.
The clear plastic traps warmth and moisture, giving your young plants a head start in the unpredictable early growing season. And bonus: they’re reusable year after year.
