Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

Giveaway and review of Cloth Paper Scissors: Studios

by

I have another National Craft Month fun giveaway for you today. Leave a comment in today’s post by Midnight Wednesday March 30, 2011 and you are entered to win a copy of the eye-candy filled Cloth Paper Scissors Studios Spring 2011 magazine from the great people at Interweave Press.

This issue is filled with inside peeks into all sorts of artists’ studio spaces. What is so fun about this is you get to see how people like ourselves store, display and arrange their “stuff” along with where their magic happens. I can’t wait to implement some of the pretty ways these creative peeps have come up with to keep their stuff in a way that lets them enjoy it as much before it gets used as during and after it is part of a project.

More about Cloth Paper Scissors Studios Spring 2011:

The Spring 2011 issue of Studios features an artist on the cover for the first time: designer and TV makeover show host Ty Pennington! Ty offers a tour of his new studio and insights on design, organization, and inspiration.

Discover Your Unique Style with Second Chances by Macy Eleni

If you’re someone who gets a little thrill from discovering a hidden gem in a secondhand store or loves the idea of curating a closet full of personality and stories, Second Chances by Macy Eleni is an absolute gem of a read. This book isn’t just about shopping—it’s about reclaiming your personal style in a way that’s sustainable, creative, and unapologetically YOU.

Macy brings all the charm and know-how of a seasoned thrifting queen, sharing her journey and passion for sustainable fashion in a really relatable, encouraging way. From practical thrifting tips to ideas for tailoring and revamping your finds, it’s packed with advice for anyone looking to ditch fast fashion and embrace a more mindful, expressive way of dressing.

What I personally loved is how Macy makes space for all styles, all sizes, and all personalities. It’s not about looking like everyone else—it’s about discovering what makes YOU feel amazing, and doing it with flair. For someone like me who’s drawn to quirky, eclectic home décor and wardrobe choices, this book was like a breath of fresh thrifted air.

Whether you’re brand new to thrifting or a seasoned op-shopper, Second Chances will have you looking at your closet—and your shopping habits—in a whole new way.
