Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure
Over at Trucs and Bricolages there is this cute paper lantern template and tutorial on how to give it a cool faux finish. This is a great design that would be perfect to use as a centerpiece indoors or out and decorated in all sorts of colors. I bet this would also be cute on a Christmas tree as you use the little battery tea lights with it.

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.
Wow!!!!!! Fabuloso!!!!
