Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

Emiko and Shana of “Accessorize With Toys” at Maker Faire

by

Emiko and Shana have hit upon a great idea! They host workshops called “Accessorize with Toys” where they bring all sorts of recycled toys and everything you need to make jewelry and small sculptures to parties and eco-events.

Check out their program here and their blog here. as well as Emiko’s website and Shana’s Web site. Both packed full of beautiful designs! I would also like to share one of their great sources for recycled stuff-it’s called SCRAP -Scrounger’s Center for Reusable Art Parts. Thanks for a super fun time! I made a bracelet from Legos and computer keys. It makes me giggle because one object is from my childhood and the other is part of my everyday life now.

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

Art can speak volumes, but it doesn’t have to cost the earth—literally. This recycled artwork, framed and ready to hang, is a perfect example of how beauty can emerge from the unexpected. It’s made from upcycled materials, bringing new life to discarded objects in the most artistic way possible.

This piece has that effortlessly cool, modern feel that I just adore. It reminds me of the kind of art I used to make as a kid—finding bits and bobs around the house and combining them into something that just worked. Only now, this work is polished, framed, and ready to elevate your home decor. It’s sustainable art with a story to tell.

What’s really great about this kind of art is that it adds character, depth, and meaning to a space. It’s not just a pretty picture; it’s a reminder that beauty can come from reuse and recycling, and it’s a nod to those of us who want to surround ourselves with eco-friendly treasures.

Why we love it:

  • Made from recycled materials

  • Each piece is completely unique and crafted with care

  • A conversation starter for your sustainable home decor or eco-conscious gallery wall

If you’ve been looking to add a touch of meaningful, eco-friendly style to your walls, this recycled artwork is definitely the way to go.
