Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure
I am so excited about this idea! I have quite a collection of pretty washi tape and I can’t say as I have ever thought of using it to decorate my finger nails! Too cool! Pop on over to the blog Hello Little Home for the tutorial on how to use washi tape on your manicure complete with recommended nail polishes for undercoat and top coat.

Let’s talk about a quiet little hero in the kitchen: the humble trivet. But not just any trivet — this set of 4 recycled plastic square trivets is a modern, minimalist dream made from 100% recycled household plastic. Yep, the same plastic that might’ve ended up in landfill is now protecting your benchtops in style. That’s a win.
I have to admit, I get a little thrill when practical things are also eco-friendly and just plain good-looking. These remind me of the ones I picked up at a zero-waste store in Melbourne — sleek, colorful, and almost too pretty to put a hot pot on. Almost.
Each one is handcrafted in small batches, with flecks of color that tell the story of what it used to be — lids, containers, maybe even your old shampoo bottle. It’s like modern terrazzo meets sustainable design. Perfect for gifting to a housewarming host or just treating your own kitchen to something that feels good and does good
Why we’re obsessed:
Made entirely from recycled household plastics
Each piece is uniquely speckled and full of character
A perfect match for eco-conscious kitchens, minimalist decor, and zero-waste living
Small item, big impact. And every time you set down your coffee pot or casserole dish, you’ll get that sweet little “I did something good today” feeling.
