Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure
Pop (pun intended) over to Linda’s blog to see how she transformed plastic soda and water bottle tops (along with a bit of t-shirt) into a cute snowman and Christmas tree.

Looking for an easy yet eye-catching way to add a little patriotic charm to your 4th of July decor? This Stars & Stripes Mason Jar Cricut Craft from CraftBits is a festive and fun project that’s perfect for crafters with a Cricut machine on hand.
This DIY features classic red, white, and blue vinyl elements—think stars, stripes, and all the Americana vibes—applied to a simple mason jar. The beauty of this craft is how versatile it is. Whether you’re using it as a lantern with a tea light, a utensil holder for your backyard BBQ, or even a candy jar for your holiday table, it’s a great way to add a personal, handmade touch to your celebration.
We also love how quick and beginner-friendly this project is, making it ideal for anyone looking to create something festive without committing to an all-day crafting session. The clean design means you can easily personalize it with names, dates, or different color combinations too.
This craft is also featured on our sister site, [insert blog name if you’d like], where we highlight holiday Cricut crafts and patriotic decor ideas. Be sure to check it out if you’re building your 4th of July craft list!
would really like this activity unfortuanely i do not read the language the instructions are given in….
I want to make these activities, but the directions are not in english. If the cover page ideas are in english then so should the directions.
I don’t speak the language, but I used Bing translator (free). It gave me enough information that I could do it. Looks like she ironed the bottle caps, with something in between the iron and caps that didn’t stick–some kind of paper.
