Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure
This project is so cute and I bet the kiddos would love to make them for all their teachers, I know I would like to make them. Using crayon wrappers is just a great source for colored paper – I never thought of that!
Pop on over to the link Kim sent in to the blog Hunt and Host for the great step by step tutorial on how to make a recycled map and crayon teacher gift.
I absolutely love this bag! I was looking for something that felt a bit more unique than your average tote—and this one totally delivers. The mix of canvas and leather gives it a rustic, well-traveled vibe that I’m obsessed with. It looks like something you’d pick up in a boutique or a vintage market, but it’s surprisingly affordable.
The quality really impressed me—thick material, strong stitching, and the leather straps feel like they’ll last forever. I’ve been using it as my everyday carry-all for errands and casual outings, and it fits everything without losing its shape. It even looks better the more I use it.
Also, I appreciate that it has a bit of a story—it feels like a bag that was made with care, not just churned out in a factory. I’ve gotten so many compliments, and people are always surprised it came from Amazon!
If you’re into that rugged, effortless style and want something durable with charm, this tote is 100% worth it. Check it out here on Amazon.
