Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure
I have been playing around with organic oval shapes in my paintings and when I spotted these cardboard cacti made out of oval-ish shapes I thought I could paint the shapes all funky colors and make silly cacti. Maybe even some tiny ones and even a super-sized one. Pop on over to teh blog The House that Lard Built for the easy tutorial on how to make cardboard cacti. These might be fun out of printed packaging or book covers?
Okay, fellow crafters and coloring fanatics, I have to tell you about a little upcycling gem I stumbled across—and yes, it involves your trusty old jeans and your ever-growing collection of coloring pencils.
If you’re anything like me, adult coloring isn’t just a hobby—it’s a relaxing, borderline therapeutic ritual. But storing (and hauling around) your colored pencils? That’s always been the messy part of the fun. Enter this absolute genius DIY: the Adult Coloring Pencil Tote made from recycled denim. Seriously, it’s one of those “why didn’t I think of that?!” moments.
Let me walk you through why I love this project—and why I think every coloring book enthusiast should make one.
