Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

Make a miniature postcard from a recycled photo

by

I am soooooo doing this! I send out snail mail using collections of vintage postage I get at Stamp Shows. I love making a collage of them to add up to 55 cents and decorating the envelope. I even have an Art Pen Pal that sends me back Art Postcards. Won’t he be surprised when in my next envelope he finds a tiny postcard like this one featured at Oh! Crafts. I’m sure I can find a tiny recycled picture in a magazine or art book.

Art can speak volumes, but it doesn’t have to cost the earth—literally. This recycled artwork, framed and ready to hang, is a perfect example of how beauty can emerge from the unexpected. It’s made from upcycled materials, bringing new life to discarded objects in the most artistic way possible.

This piece has that effortlessly cool, modern feel that I just adore. It reminds me of the kind of art I used to make as a kid—finding bits and bobs around the house and combining them into something that just worked. Only now, this work is polished, framed, and ready to elevate your home decor. It’s sustainable art with a story to tell.

What’s really great about this kind of art is that it adds character, depth, and meaning to a space. It’s not just a pretty picture; it’s a reminder that beauty can come from reuse and recycling, and it’s a nod to those of us who want to surround ourselves with eco-friendly treasures.

Why we love it:

  • Made from recycled materials

  • Each piece is completely unique and crafted with care

  • A conversation starter for your sustainable home decor or eco-conscious gallery wall

If you’ve been looking to add a touch of meaningful, eco-friendly style to your walls, this recycled artwork is definitely the way to go.
