🏡 Everyday Life, Creative Eyes 🏡

Sometimes the best craft supplies aren’t found in a store — they’re hiding in plain sight. A jar becomes a pincushion. A cereal box becomes a stencil. A scrap of fabric becomes the start of something beautiful.

As makers, we see potential everywhere. Our homes are full of little treasures waiting to be transformed.

:point_right: Today’s mission: What’s one everyday item you’ve repurposed into a craft project?

  • Did you turn something destined for the trash into a treasure?
  • Have you ever used a household item in a totally unexpected way?
  • Bonus if you share a photo or describe the process — I love seeing your creative twists!

Let’s celebrate the resourcefulness and imagination that make this community so inspiring. You don’t need fancy tools to make something amazing — just a little vision and a lot of heart. :sparkling_heart:

Trash is my second name :joy: I think that for my house I’ve bought a dinning table, a bed and the kitchen counters, and even that, the kitchen furniture, I fixed them to fit with more wood imitating the bought pieces :joy: so you can imagine me crafting. People dump any kind of useful stuff.

:joy: I love this so much — you’re speaking my language! I have the hardest time throwing out perfectly good things. If it’s a sturdy jar, a clean container, or a piece of furniture with potential, it’s staying. I’ve got a stash of ‘future projects’ that started as someone else’s trash and now feel like treasure. Your kitchen fix sounds genius — I’d totally do the same! Makers like us see possibilities everywhere. :heart:

I like to look beyond what a item is I see craft ideas in most things.
