Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

Toilet Paper tube bunny printing and more fun Easter crafts

There seems to be a never-ending supply of fun and creative ways to reuse those humble little cardboard TP tubes—and honestly, I couldn’t be happier about it. If you’ve been saving them in a craft stash (or let’s be real, a giant overflowing box), then you’re going to love this next idea. I just stumbled across the cutest Easter craft on The Organized Housewife blog, and it instantly made me smile.

She’s shared a whole collection of Easter-themed recycled crafts, but one that really stood out to me was her super sweet TP tube bunny heads. With just three little pieces cut from a single toilet paper roll, you can create the head and two upright bunny ears—and it’s way easier than it looks! A bit of paint, a marker for the face, and voilà, you’ve got yourself some recycled Easter magic.

It’s a great hands-on project for kids, but honestly, I’d totally make a few myself just to add a touch of charm to an eco-friendly Easter table setting or spring decor display. So if you’re ready to hop into the season with something adorable and sustainable, head over to The Organized Housewife for the full how-to.

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.
