Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure
Pretty Little Love Objects is running a competition in February called Reuse, Recycle, Reclaim and they’re looking for projects made from materials that once had a different function. If your entry is chosen as the winner, you’ll receive a bundle of Valentine’s-themed prizes. Deadline is Feb. 29. See this Craftster post for details.

You know those random cold snaps that sneak in just when your garden is getting started? Yeah—super frustrating. That’s why we’re loving this clever tip from the folks at Garden Gate Magazine: turn empty soda bottles into mini greenhouses for your plants!
These DIY soda bottle cloches are such a smart (and budget-friendly) way to protect tender seedlings from frost, pests, or heavy rain. They’re also a great little upcycle project—so if you’ve got a few 2-liter bottles lying around, you’re halfway there.
The clear plastic traps warmth and moisture, giving your young plants a head start in the unpredictable early growing season. And bonus: they’re reusable year after year.
Want to see how it’s done and pick up a few extra tips along the way? Head over to the full tutorial here:
