  4. This magazine looks fantastic! I’d love to have a copy 🙂 I’m very in to recycled crafts these days, and am always looking for new projects to use all those wonderful little things I’ve saved from the trash (and if I don’t use them up quick enough my husband will “un-rescue” them back to the garbage!)

  5. that looks like a fantastic magazine. a pity I cannot buy in around here (in the Netherlands) or I would run out to get it right now.

  7. Cool! My new favorite repurposing craft is cutting wine and beer bottles into vases and drinking glasses. I’d love this mag!

  9. My kids and I love to craft with repurposed and recycled items. This magazine looks really interesting!

  11. Yes please…just searched for “green craft ideas” and found this. I didn’t know that the magazine even existed. I’d love a free copy.

  13. Oh gosh!
    Creating from used materials is something I do everyday, and I’m so happy that others do too…I love that I can experiment without wasting resources, and when you succeed, you feel like the smartest person ever.
    Some creative mind have finally broken through in making remaking real…like there’s magazines about boating or whatever but now there’s on on crafting!
    Thank you so much for this oppurtunity!!and for running an inspiring blog that I’m sure as many creative ideas as the mag…:)

  14. I have seen this magazine advertised in other craft magazines and have searched for it at Newsagents and Borders to no luck. I love all types of craft and think that Upcycling or recycling is the way of the future so we can save our valuable resources. It would be brilliant to win this copy I can hardly wait.

  21. Go Green…I can’t wait to spend more time with recycled crafts – Looks like a groovy magazine!

  28. I love crafting and I hate waste… this magazine seems right up my alley! If I don’t win, how about recycling an older copy my way?

  31. Love this magazine. I pick up a copy and look at every time I am at the bookstore!

  32. I would like to explore that magazine and then recycle it by letting my daughter have it. It is so up her alley! But I know her. She will recycle it to another friend in her dorm, church, or pilates class! This magazine would have a fun-filled, adventurous journey! :•)

  37. I would love to win a free copy of this magazine. I’ve always been a knitter and crocheter, but have recently started upcycling and recycling – I’ve never seen this mag on any of my local newstands and would love to check it out!. Love your blog

  39. That looks super cool!!! Please, oh please can I have one to check out?! 🙂

  40. Recycling is always at the back of my mind. I hate throwing things away, so materials, papers and packaging always stacks up. I’d love to win this book to put my materials to use!!

  43. Recycling is a way of the future, we have to save the earth for our kids and grandkids. What better way than to make something from recycled materials.

  44. Most of my creations come from recycling-so I am very excited about this magazine. My challenge is to make a new item out of something that it was never intended to be used for. I hope I win to add to my idea library.

  46. i’ve just started to recycle / recreate some of the things i’ve held on to… always looking for some new inspiration! 🙂

  47. This is great! I try to be eco-friendly but I admit I’m not the best when it comes to recycling. The magazine would be a great source of inspiration.

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.
