Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

Toilet Paper tube bunny printing and more fun Easter crafts

by

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.

Build Big Memories on a Budget: DIY Cubby House Using Recycled Pallets

There’s something special about a cubby house. For kids, it’s more than just a backyard structure—it becomes a pirate ship, a secret hideaway, a miniature home, or a quiet spot to read and imagine. And for parents or grandparents, it’s a chance to create something meaningful that encourages outdoor play and creativity.

I recently came across a fantastic step-by-step guide from the team over at Bunnings Workshop that shows exactly how to build a DIY cubby house using recycled pallet timber. It’s a simple yet incredibly rewarding project that turns discarded timber into a charming play space your kids will absolutely love.

What I really appreciate about this project is how accessible it is. It doesn’t require a big budget or expensive materials. By using pallet timber, you not only save money but also help reduce waste—making it a great example of sustainable DIY. The cubby design is solid and safe, with a layout that leaves room for personal touches like paint, planters, or even a chalkboard wall.

This is the kind of project that can grow with your children. You might start with a basic structure and then add onto it as their play evolves—maybe a little deck area, a set of stairs, or some creative decor like a mini letterbox or curtains. It’s also a great opportunity for families to work together. Even young children can help with painting or handing over tools, making it a fun and collaborative experience.

The Bunnings Workshop tutorial provides a clear guide with a materials list, tool requirements, and helpful photos throughout. Whether you’re an experienced builder or a DIY beginner, the instructions are easy to follow and adaptable to different backyard sizes.

If you’ve been looking for a weekend project that adds charm to your outdoor space and creates long-lasting memories, this might be just the thing. Building a cubby house is a wonderful way to connect with your kids, encourage imagination, and spend time outdoors—without needing to buy another plastic playhouse.
