Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure
Hey kids — how does $10,000 sound? That’s how much you can win by entering the Design Squad Trash to Treasure Competition, which is challenging kids age 5 to 19 (U.S. only) to recycle, reuse and re-engineer everyday materials into out-of-the-box inventions. You could win $10,000, a Dell laptop plus a trip to Boston to see your design being built. Deadline is Aug. 31.

If you’re looking for a bag that’s as stylish as it is eco-friendly, look no further than this recycled cloth jute beach tote bag. Handcrafted from upcycled materials, this tote combines the rustic charm of jute with the sustainability of recycled cloth, making it the perfect accessory for your next beach trip, farmers’ market visit, or casual day out.
What I love about this bag is its combination of practicality and earth-conscious design. The sturdy jute fabric gives it a timeless look, while the use of recycled cloth keeps things fresh and eco-friendly. It’s large enough to hold all your essentials—whether you’re headed to the beach or carrying groceries—and it’s the kind of bag you can feel good about using.
Why this tote bag is a must-have:
Made from recycled cloth and jute, giving new life to old materials while keeping things stylish
Perfect for a beach day, carrying groceries, or just as your go-to everyday tote
Eco-conscious design that helps reduce waste while looking chic
This bag isn’t just a practical piece; it’s also a conversation starter. People will ask where you got it, and you can proudly say, “It’s handmade, recycled, and fabulous!” A must-have for anyone looking to add more sustainable options to their daily life.
I saw the most amazing dress made out of newspaper and the designer is only 12 years old. He actually won the contest for recycled materials. How can he enter a bigger contest for his designs.
