I was flipping through the book and spotted this page that features buttons as a suggestion for embellishments for gift wrap.

use buttons as embellishments gift wrap

I happen to have a giant bag of these pin back promo buttons and I thought they would make a great recycled surface toDecoDen bling up.

Using theDecoDen Bling to cover the buttons and then place the objects in starting with the largest and working  my way down to the tiny beads to fill in the spaces worked like a charm! After they were dry I slipped a ribbon under the pin back and wrapped the gift boxes.

    I knit a lot and then make recycled felted wool flowers to go on the hats or in you hair, as a pin or as a bow for a special gift. Because they are small I can go alittle crazy with the bling bling…it really brings a smile to my face when someone u would never guess would pick out a real dazzler does and just loves it..
    Enjoy each day.. Elaine

    Does it count if my daughter was the last to bling (she’s 4)? I gave her a plain box and she painted it and then glued (with a little assistance) all sorts of buttons and blings to make her treasure box.

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.
