Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure
We all have a stash of buttons, especially those of us who cut them off clothing before cutting it up to use as rags (totally saves on buying paper towels) like our grandparents did. Why not whip up a few ornaments perfect for decorating this Christmas in whatever color combo is your theme this year. See the super easy tutorial Jenni posted at her blog Vintage Umbrella on how to make a button wreath ornament.

I absolutely love this bag! I was looking for something that felt a bit more unique than your average tote—and this one totally delivers. The mix of canvas and leather gives it a rustic, well-traveled vibe that I’m obsessed with. It looks like something you’d pick up in a boutique or a vintage market, but it’s surprisingly affordable.
The quality really impressed me—thick material, strong stitching, and the leather straps feel like they’ll last forever. I’ve been using it as my everyday carry-all for errands and casual outings, and it fits everything without losing its shape. It even looks better the more I use it.
Also, I appreciate that it has a bit of a story—it feels like a bag that was made with care, not just churned out in a factory. I’ve gotten so many compliments, and people are always surprised it came from Amazon!
If you’re into that rugged, effortless style and want something durable with charm, this tote is 100% worth it. Check it out here on Amazon.
I love your ideas for Christmas decorating ideas was searching the net and I came across your wonderful blog, congratulations and Merry Christmas from Spain.
