Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

How to make recycled book page and tissue paper pendants

by

This project is so versatile and fun to make! You can get creative with the color combinations and add anything you like to the resin, such as dried flowers, glitter, or even your favorite quotes. The end result will be a stunning piece of jewelry that is unique and personal to you.

I love the idea of giving these pendants as gifts. Think about how special it would be to receive a piece of jewelry that has a meaningful message or memory attached to it. I’m already planning on making a few for my friends and family.

One of the great things about this project is that it’s a great way to recycle and repurpose tissue paper. Instead of throwing it away, you can turn it into a beautiful piece of jewelry. This project is also a great opportunity to get creative with your resin, try different colors and see what you can come up with.

. Pop on over to the blog Snapping Monsters for the step by step tutorial on how to make tissue paper and resin pendants. I bet once you make a few of these you won’t be able to stop. I can see adding bits of recycled elements into these as well. The jewelry and other embellishments will be on everything.

Time Flies — And Sometimes It Has Wings Made of Vintage Paper and Buttons

Have you ever been to the cuckoo clock shop at Tamborine Mountain? It’s like stepping into another world — a charming, ticking wonderland filled with thousands (yes, literally thousands) of clocks. Some are grand and ornate, others tiny and tucked away like secrets waiting to be discovered. I remember walking through the shop with my kids, completely enchanted by the whirring gears, dancing figurines, and the joyful chorus of chimes. It was one of those places where time feels like it both stops and flies.

That same feeling came flooding back when I stumbled across this adorable craft project from Teawagon Tales called Time Flies. In true vintage style, it’s a whimsical little DIY that combines scraps of fabric, old paper, buttons, and clock faces into sweet butterfly-like creations — a beautiful mashup of memory, imagination, and just plain cuteness.

It reminded me that crafting is a little like walking through that clock shop. Each piece holds a story, a tick of nostalgia, and the joy of noticing small details. You don’t need much — just some leftover fabric, maybe an old book page or two, and a few bits from your button tin. And suddenly you’re creating something that feels like it fluttered out of a fairytale.

So if you’ve got a stash of pretty paper or vintage bits and bobs you’ve been saving for “something special,” this might be the perfect project to give them new life.

Take a look at the full tutorial and soak up some serious inspiration:
