I love seeing all the first day of school photos everyone is posting. A friend even posted her first day of Grad School as a joke (she is a mom of 2!). And this idea for making a back-to-school time capsule that includes hand tracings and a string that is as long as your are tall and more is a great way to celebrate and plan for a year of growing! Pop on over to the blog I Heart Crafty Things for instructions on how to make a recycled jar back-to-school time capsule.

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:
