Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

How to make an Iphone / Ipad pillow stand

by

I am finding myself watching more and more videos on my Ipad so I thought I’d whip up a little fabric pillow stand. The new bunny fabric from Crafter’s Companion was the perfect choice.

The stand works great with an Iphone too to charge as well as the little loop on the back holds the cord in place.

I used the easy ipad pillow stand tutorial over at Factotum of Arts. The one thing I switched up when making my pillow iPad stand is I used the Crafter’s Companion foam on a roll for the base area between the little front pillow and back triangle stand filled with rice. I bet these would make great Christmas gifts made in fabrics that each person would like….off to sew some more!

I Found a Table Made from Mannequin Legs—and I’m Still Not Over It

Okay, I have to tell you about one of the most bizarre-yet-brilliant DIYs I’ve come across in a while. While scrolling through google (as one does when deep into a late-night upcycling rabbit hole), I stumbled on a video tutorial for a table made out of mannequin legs. And honestly? I couldn’t look away.

This project is peak creative chaos—in the best way. The concept is exactly what it sounds like: four mannequin legs, flipped and fixed in place, supporting a standard tabletop. It’s got this quirky, surreal vibe that makes it feel part high fashion, part modern art installation. Think: Tim Burton meets IKEA.

What I loved most about this video is how surprisingly accessible it is. The creator breaks the process down clearly—so even though the end result looks totally wild, the steps are manageable. You’ll need a few tools and a decent amount of glue or screws (depending on how permanent you want this table to be), but nothing too technical.

Design-wise, this piece is an absolute conversation starter. It would look amazing in a creative studio, a funky coffee shop, or even as a statement piece in a minimalist home—anywhere you want to break the “normal furniture” mold. The contrast between the realistic mannequin legs and a basic tabletop is just the right kind of weird.

If you’re into recycled home decor, eco-conscious DIY projects, or just love adding some unexpected personality to your space, this one’s worth bookmarking. Whether or not you ever make it yourself, it’s guaranteed to make you see mannequins—and furniture—in a whole new way.
