Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure
Do you have a stash of little plastic animals that your kids are done playing with it? Or do you buy them yourself because they are so darn cute? Well either way over at the blog Totnens there is a GREAT collection of recycled crafts made with little plastic animals.
I have had the pleasure of being the Recycled Editor at Craft Gossip for over 15 years. I can’t think of a better job than to immerse myself in a community of creatives that focus on sharing their eco-creations with others. I have learned so much and I hope all of you readers have as well. I want to thank the amazing team that has given me this opportunity and I wish them all the success in the world as they continue to produce great content here that educates and inspires creativity as I feel “making” is vital to heath and well being.
I will still be sharing my recycled creations that are primarily art on my personal social media – please feel free to follow me in Instagram @StefanieLGirard and on Facebook Stefanie Girard if you want to keep up with me 🙂
This is my latest art installation “Daily Practice, The Power of Creativity, (Zen and the Art of grenade making)” . This piece consisting of 365 1/4 porcelain grenades that took 5 years to make. It was given an award at the 2025 art show produced by The Fine Art Federation.
It is simply a magical thing to transform one thing into another in an unexpected way.
Thank you Craft Gossip!
Keep creating with recycled things everyone.
Happy Earth Day….every day 🙂
What a great idea. Thanks so much.
What a great site or post – I glanced at their page – I wanna make so many of the projects with toy animals!!! Especially the fridge magnets they are so cute with their little butts sticking out!
