Images from old books make a great resource for all sorts of recycled crafts. Check out how Jodi of the blog Art by Wiley made triangle bunting with recycled children’s picture books.

DIY Bar Goals: This Wine Bottle Cutter Kit Is About to Change My Crafting Life
I have a confession: this bottle cutter kit has been sitting in my Amazon cart for days. I keep coming back to it, imagining all the wine bottles I could be turning into classy glasses, candle holders, or even a whole DIY lantern lineup for my patio.
If you’re even a little bit crafty (or maybe just drink a lot of wine—no judgment here), this kit looks like a total game-changer. It’s got everything: a stable base, adjustable rollers, gloves, a glass paper smoother—basically all the stuff you’d forget you needed until halfway through your first project.
What I love is how this makes upcycling feel super doable. Instead of tossing those beautiful gin or whiskey bottles, I could be turning them into one-of-a-kind gifts or home decor pieces. And let’s be honest—who doesn’t want to say, “Oh this old thing? I made it.”
Now I just need to stop imagining and start cutting. Might be the perfect weekend project… if I click ‘Buy Now’ before Friday.
LOVE this idea! I have upcycling old children’s books into sketchbooks, and this would be a fun use for the leftover inner pages!
