Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure
Last week I posted how to make a pumpkin from a whole roll of toilet paper now here’s one with just the tube! And you thought there was nothing left to make with those paper and bathroom tissue tubes. Well, nope! Pumpkins it is today (again, ’cause ’tis the season and all). Head on over to Allison’s blog- A Glimpse Inside for the full tutorial on how to recycle paper towel tubes into a pumpkin garland.

These upcycled drinking glasses are such a fun and meaningful addition to my kitchen! I originally bought them because I’m trying to make more eco-conscious choices, but they’ve turned out to be so much more than just “sustainable.” They’re genuinely beautiful—each one is slightly different, which just adds to their charm. You can really tell they’ve been made from repurposed bottles (in the best way), and that story makes them a great conversation piece when guests are over.
They’re surprisingly sturdy too—not flimsy or thin like I half-expected. I’ve been using them daily for everything from iced coffee to juice, and they wash up really well without clouding or scratching.
Honestly, it feels good to drink from something that’s not only stylish but also has a positive impact. If you’re looking for a gift with meaning or just want to treat yourself while treading a little lighter on the planet, these are a win. They also have a frosted version too.

I’m loving all the variety of crafts you posted on your site. It’s giving us a couple of ideas on what crafts to make, especially with Halloween coming up. Keep them coming!

I really like this idea! I was trying to figure out what to do with those tubes outside of just making them fancy lace holders.
Thx!
