The coolest recycling thing I learned at the Craft Super Show and CHA Winter 2010

January 28, 2010 by Stefanie Girard

Kunin felt and all Kunin products are made from Eco-fi, high-quality polyester fiber made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles! Can you believe that! I had no idea. Kunin felt is a staple in so many adult and kid crafts, now it makes me feel so happy to know it is so eco-friendly! To see more pictures from these two big craft shows pop over here, here and here. And if you know of a cool craft supply that is eco-friendly or recycled be sure to drop me a link, I would love to share it!

    Ooo, it’s lovely to see you have found out about Kunin felt! My husband and I have just started selling it as it was so difficult to get hold of in the UK.

Have you read?

I Found a Table Made from Mannequin Legs—and I’m Still Not Over It

Okay, I have to tell you about one of the most bizarre-yet-brilliant DIYs I’ve come across in a while. While scrolling through google (as one does when deep into a late-night upcycling rabbit hole), I stumbled on a video tutorial for a table made out of mannequin legs. And honestly? I couldn’t look away.

This project is peak creative chaos—in the best way. The concept is exactly what it sounds like: four mannequin legs, flipped and fixed in place, supporting a standard tabletop. It’s got this quirky, surreal vibe that makes it feel part high fashion, part modern art installation. Think: Tim Burton meets IKEA.

What I loved most about this video is how surprisingly accessible it is. The creator breaks the process down clearly—so even though the end result looks totally wild, the steps are manageable. You’ll need a few tools and a decent amount of glue or screws (depending on how permanent you want this table to be), but nothing too technical.

Design-wise, this piece is an absolute conversation starter. It would look amazing in a creative studio, a funky coffee shop, or even as a statement piece in a minimalist home—anywhere you want to break the “normal furniture” mold. The contrast between the realistic mannequin legs and a basic tabletop is just the right kind of weird.

If you’re into recycled home decor, eco-conscious DIY projects, or just love adding some unexpected personality to your space, this one’s worth bookmarking. Whether or not you ever make it yourself, it’s guaranteed to make you see mannequins—and furniture—in a whole new way.

Catch the full tutorial and see the visual magic for yourself on Recyclart. Just be prepared to say, “Wait, is that a leg?” every time someone visits your house.
