Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

The easiest no-sew interchangeable button bracelet

by

I am really excited about this new interchangeable no-sew button bracelet kit available at Buttons Galore. The possibilities are truly endless! Use the buttons that come in the kit that are beyond cute (and kid friendly) to beautiful elegant and sparkly buttons and even recycled and vintage buttons from your stash.

Start by screwing in the included knob closure that comes in the kit.

Place the screw part into a hole from the back to the front and then screw the knob part onto the threaded end on the top side of the faux leather cuff.

Select the buttons you would like to put on your bracelet.

Place each button shank through each hole on the bracelet.

Then simply thread the straight side of the button clip through the shank and snap it into place to secure.

Rotate your buttons so they line up in the direction you want them to be seen.

This faux leather cuff and button bracelet kit includes pretty colors like light blue, pink, orange, black, taupe, and red so they work with colorful buttons, gold and silver buttons and combinations of all of the above.

To wear the faux leather button bracelet simply wrap the cuff around your wrist and poke the knob closure through the hole at the opposite end from back to front.

It is fun to wear several at a time in all different colors.

You can slide the clip off the button shank and change out the buttons for different looks to coordinate with different outfits or when you find a new button you want to wear.

Looking for vintage buttons? Check these out on Etsy.

This is so cool!

Steven Rodrig: Breathing New Life into E-Waste

Steven Rodrig is a Cuban-born, New Jersey-based artist known for transforming discarded electronic components into stunning sculptures. His work, often inspired by nature, showcases the potential of upcycled materials in art.

From Structural Mechanics to Artistic Expression

Born in Havana in 1963 and immigrating to the U.S. in 1966, Rodrig’s background is rooted in structural mechanics rather than formal art training. His exposure to printed circuit boards (PCBs) in his professional life sparked a fascination with their intricate designs, leading him to repurpose them into artistic creations.

Rodrig’s sculptures often depict organic forms—sea turtles, dragonflies, hummingbirds—crafted meticulously from PCBs and other electronic waste. He begins with detailed sketches, then sources specific components, sometimes waiting weeks to find the right pieces. His work explores the intersection of technology and nature, prompting reflections on the rapid evolution of electronics and its environmental impact.

One of Rodrig’s standout pieces is “Sea Turtle Searching for Deep Data,” a sculpture that exemplifies his ability to merge technological materials with natural forms. Another intriguing work, “Attempt At Transferring Data Into The Organic World V.9,” involves embedding PCBs into egg contents, symbolizing the blend of organic and manmade data.

Rodrig’s art has been featured in various exhibitions and publications, highlighting his innovative approach to sustainability and design. His sculptures serve as a commentary on consumerism and the lifecycle of technology, encouraging viewers to reconsider the value of discarded materials.

Through his unique fusion of art and environmental consciousness, Steven Rodrig invites us to see the beauty in the overlooked and to reflect on our relationship with technology and waste.
