Lighthouses are a fun object to decorate with especially in the summer as we associate them with the beach and ocean. Who knew there were so many easy ways to make the simple and interactive object. Pop on over to the blog Completely Coastal to see the great collection of ways to make recycled lighthouse decorations. These red Solo cup and clear plastic cup lighthouses with a simple tea light are one of my faves!

Handmade with a Past: Tuesday’s Top Recycled Etsy Find

If you’re anything like me, you’ve got a stack of old vinyl records lying around, maybe from your parents’ collection or that time you bought a crate of random records at a garage sale. Well, here’s a genius way to breathe new life into those vintage treasures: this recycled long-play record art piece. It’s not just a nod to the past; it’s a way to keep it alive in a modern, stylish form.

I’ve always loved the tactile feel of a record and the ritual of playing one—there’s just something special about it. So when I found these upcycled records turned into artwork, I instantly thought about how cool it would be to give a second life to my own collection (which is currently collecting dust in the attic). It’s like the record is back from its own time-travel journey, with a fresh purpose and a whole new vibe.

Whether you’re a music lover or just someone who appreciates unique, eco-friendly art, this recycled record will be a conversation starter in your home. Plus, it’s an awesome way to keep the nostalgia alive without cluttering your space.

Why it rocks:

  • Crafted from recycled long-play records

  • A nostalgic, eco-friendly art piece for your walls

  • Perfect for music lovers, retro enthusiasts, or anyone looking to add character to their home decor

Give your old records a chance to shine again, all while adding some sustainable flair to your living room.
