Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

How to make and display yarn hearts

by

Today is almost a three-fer. At first I loved the fluffy yarn hearts, and then the way they were displayed was a great idea that I could use all over my house for all sorts of things. And I use branches all the time for all sorts of displays, all I have to do is go for a walk and keep my eyes open to find a few pretty branches for whatever I need to display. Pop on over to the blog Life Is A Party for the tutorial on how to make yarn wrapped hearts. Don’t have fluffy white yarn in your stash?

Handmade with a Past: Tuesday’s Top Recycled Etsy Find

Let’s talk about a quiet little hero in the kitchen: the humble trivet. But not just any trivet — this set of 4 recycled plastic square trivets is a modern, minimalist dream made from 100% recycled household plastic. Yep, the same plastic that might’ve ended up in landfill is now protecting your benchtops in style. That’s a win.

I have to admit, I get a little thrill when practical things are also eco-friendly and just plain good-looking. These remind me of the ones I picked up at a zero-waste store in Melbourne — sleek, colorful, and almost too pretty to put a hot pot on. Almost.

Each one is handcrafted in small batches, with flecks of color that tell the story of what it used to be — lids, containers, maybe even your old shampoo bottle. It’s like modern terrazzo meets sustainable design. Perfect for gifting to a housewarming host or just treating your own kitchen to something that feels good and does good

Why we’re obsessed:

  • Made entirely from recycled household plastics

  • Each piece is uniquely speckled and full of character

  • A perfect match for eco-conscious kitchens, minimalist decor, and zero-waste living

Small item, big impact. And every time you set down your coffee pot or casserole dish, you’ll get that sweet little “I did something good today” feeling.
