35 Creative Ways to Make Bowls from Recycled Materials – Genius Eco-Friendly DIYs You Can Actually Use

You know that super satisfying moment when you make something beautiful and save it from going in the trash? That’s the vibe I live for—and honestly, recycled bowl crafts hit that sweet spot perfectly. Whether you’re upcycling old magazines, leftover fabric, broken vinyl records, or even plastic toy animals (yes, really), turning trash into treasure has never looked so good on a shelf or coffee table.

I started making recycled bowls during a rainy weekend when I was stuck at home with a hot glue gun and a guilt-inducing stash of craft leftovers. I figured I’d try a fabric scrap bowl just to feel productive, but before I knew it, I was experimenting with egg cartons, paper mache, and even confetti (it totally works!). Not only did I end up with a bunch of adorable little storage solutions, but my house looked like an Anthropologie knock-off… in the best way.

This roundup is full of creative ways to make bowls using things you probably already have lying around. And here’s the best part: most of these projects are low-cost, kid-friendly, and shockingly therapeutic. There’s something about shaping something with your hands that’s just good for the soul, especially when it’s helping the planet too.

Whether you’re looking to tidy up your space, need a thoughtful handmade gift, or just want an excuse to use up those crafting leftovers, these recycled bowl ideas are going to be your new obsession. I mean, who knew an old LP record could become a funky chip bowl? Or that fabric scraps could look so chic?

Personally, I’ve used mine to hold jewelry, snacks, keys, cotton balls in the bathroom—you name it. They’ve even made it into my gift baskets and craft fair booth. And every time someone asks where I got them, I get to proudly say, “Oh, I made it. From trash.”

So grab a balloon, some glue, that crumpled-up magazine you’ve been meaning to recycle, and let’s get crafting. I guarantee you’ll be looking at your recycling bin a little differently after this. If you end up making any of these, tag me—I’d love to see what kind of gorgeous bowls you whip up!
