If you love the idea of turning discarded items into vibrant, wearable art, you’ll adore these colorful artsy recycled glass bead earrings. Each bead is crafted from recycled glass, transforming it into a stunning statement piece that’s as unique as you are.

What I love about this particular design is how the glass beads take on a life of their own, with beautiful colors that pop and a style that makes these earrings a perfect addition to both casual and formal outfits. They’re a great way to wear a piece of art that’s not just beautiful but also eco-friendly—bringing new meaning to the idea of recycled fashion.

Why these earrings stand out:

  • Made from recycled glass beads, giving new life to something that would otherwise go to waste

  • A bold, colorful accessory that adds character and personality to any outfit

  • Perfect for eco-conscious fashionistas, art lovers, or anyone looking to add a splash of color to their jewelry collection

These earrings are perfect for someone who loves to make a statement without compromising on sustainability. Plus, you can feel good knowing you’re wearing something that’s both artistic and kind to the planet.

This DIY Board Game Table Made Me Want to Dust Off My Cricut

You know that feeling when you see a project and instantly start mentally rearranging your whole weekend to fit it in? That was me with The Carpenter’s Daughter’s DIY Board Game Table tutorial. I mean, it’s so good. Functional, stylish, and honestly—such a conversation starter.

It’s the kind of piece that looks high-end, but she breaks it down step-by-step in a way that makes it totally achievable, even if you’re not a woodworking wizard. And if you’ve got a Cricut machine (like I do, gathering dust in the corner), this is your cue to plug it in and actually use it. She used hers to create the game board top, and it adds such a clean, custom finish.

I never really thought about how handy a built-in game board could be—no more shuffling Monopoly pieces off the kitchen table when it’s time for dinner! It’s perfect for families, game nights with friends, or even just a cool coffee table alternative with a little hidden fun.

What I Love About This Project:

  • It doubles as a gorgeous piece of furniture.

  • You can totally customize the games—checkers, chess, tic-tac-toe, you name it.

  • It’s an awesome way to up your Cricut game (seriously, I’ve been inspired).

  • And let’s be honest—it’s a great excuse to get crafty and competitive.

If you’re looking for a project with style and function, check out the full tutorial here. Fair warning though—you’ll probably end up wanting to make more than one.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to charge my Cricut and pretend I know how to play chess again…
