Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure
Embroidery hoops make a great base to make all sorts of projects with. Best yet a lot of the projects can be temporary and then onto the next idea. Pop on over to the blog Lil Blue Boo for the fun tutorial on how to make recycled book page and embroidery hoop pumpkin jack-o-lantern Halloween decoration.

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.
