Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

How to make a beaded rainbow DNA design

by

With science and medicine in the news practically every day on every channel I was looking around for elements that might be fun to incorporate into art and craft projects. I spotted these rainbow DNA beaded earrings. I was thinking about making them big with maybe recycled drinking straws or tp tubes for the center parts and big pony beads or styrofoam balls? I wonder what else DNA could be made of? Pop on over to the blog Gwen Beads for the tutorial on how to make DNA double helix beaded earrings.

IWAS Upcycled Drinking Glasses

These upcycled drinking glasses are such a fun and meaningful addition to my kitchen! I originally bought them because I’m trying to make more eco-conscious choices, but they’ve turned out to be so much more than just “sustainable.” They’re genuinely beautiful—each one is slightly different, which just adds to their charm. You can really tell they’ve been made from repurposed bottles (in the best way), and that story makes them a great conversation piece when guests are over.

They’re surprisingly sturdy too—not flimsy or thin like I half-expected. I’ve been using them daily for everything from iced coffee to juice, and they wash up really well without clouding or scratching.

Honestly, it feels good to drink from something that’s not only stylish but also has a positive impact. If you’re looking for a gift with meaning or just want to treat yourself while treading a little lighter on the planet, these are a win. They also have a frosted version too.
