Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure
I have a feeling that decorating yards is going to be more important now more than ever as many of us will probably not be doing huge indoor gatherings this holiday season. So these giant ball ornaments perfect to hang on trees in your front yard are the perfect recycled project to start making with all your leftover beach balls, kick balls and others you may be playing with this summer. Pop on over to the blog Picky Stitch for more about how to make giant Christmas tree ornament balls.
I have a confession: this bottle cutter kit has been sitting in my Amazon cart for days. I keep coming back to it, imagining all the wine bottles I could be turning into classy glasses, candle holders, or even a whole DIY lantern lineup for my patio.
If you’re even a little bit crafty (or maybe just drink a lot of wine—no judgment here), this kit looks like a total game-changer. It’s got everything: a stable base, adjustable rollers, gloves, a glass paper smoother—basically all the stuff you’d forget you needed until halfway through your first project.
What I love is how this makes upcycling feel super doable. Instead of tossing those beautiful gin or whiskey bottles, I could be turning them into one-of-a-kind gifts or home decor pieces. And let’s be honest—who doesn’t want to say, “Oh this old thing? I made it.”
Now I just need to stop imagining and start cutting. Might be the perfect weekend project… if I click ‘Buy Now’ before Friday.
