Soda Pop Lamp

Soda Pop Lamp

This doesn't look as stylish as pepsi bottle lamp or pop tabs lamp we've seen earlier but it does seem to be fun.

And if you have kids, they will simply LOVE it!

CD Dumbbell

OK, so w have seen plenty of ideas om how to recycle old CDs but this is something I am not sure about:

A CD dumbbell? How much does it weight?

CD Lamp

On: Wednesday, January 13, 2010

I have already shared a lamp where stack of CDs were used as a lamp base. But this one is much more impressive!

In it, CDs are a glow - they create some beautiful plastic light effect when having a bulb inside:

Pop Tabs Belt
Our last tip on taking advantage of pop tabs (Pop Tabs Dog Collar) wasn't received very enthusiastically. But this one is going to be success!

Here's a really stylish, cool-looking belt for women made of pop tabs (looks like it needed much work but the outcome is impressive!)

Plastic Frog Box

Do you remember that cool plastic zipped box I've shared earlier, this week I have something even cuter for you: the same thing but much more fun.

This is just the same zipped code made of two plastic bottles but with eyes - this makes the whole thing much lovelier, what do you think?

Pop Tabs Dog Collar

Pop Tabs Dog Collar

It's time to make something for our pets. I am sure this pop tab collar will look great on your dog. If you add a bit of creativity, for example play with different colors (pop tabs may be of various colors) the collar may be even cuter!

Again, not too solid I suppose - it is more like a decoration than anything else.

Recycle Candy Wrappers into a Chick Bag

Candy Wrappers Bag

Even the picky fashionistas should appreciate this: the bag made of candy wrappers look colorful, bright and actually cool.

I don't think it will be solid enough to sustain the active usage (you won't be able to stuff it with all sorts of useless things you may like having in your handbag) but it will make you the center of any party!

Milk Carton Lamps

Milk Carton Lamps

I am not sure how safe these lamps are (is milk carton solid enough to sustain the heat from the bulb?) but they look really awesome!

The best thing about the project is the cool ornament - gotta love it!

Pepsi Bottle Lamp

Pepsi Bottle Lamp

Sometimes the most genius things are born from really simple stuff. This Pepsi bottle lamp is the best proof for that. I am sure it will make your home most famous decor: all your friends will be impressed.

Note: the one in the picture is made of a vintage bottle but I am sure the very modern one will look cool as well.

Pull Tab Bracelet

Pull Tab Bracelet

This project proves that EVERYTHING can be recycled even such useless things as pull tabs.

Ok, this pull tab bracelet may look like nothing fancy and maybe you won't put it on when going to some party, but your kids may love it.

And making it might be fun as well!

Cool Pop Tabs Lamp

On: Friday, January 1, 2010

Pop Tabs Lamp

500 pop tabs and "many, many nights" work result in a unique and amazing DIY project: a pop tabs lamp.

The author calls it a "tree hugger" and t does look like a lot of work, so if you decide to make one, good luck!

CD photo frame

Here's last-minute idea for your loved one New Year gift: cut your photo into a circle, attach it to CD with double face tape. Now, cover the back of the CD with sticky back felt. Use tacky glue to secure it into a slot in base.

CD Disco Ball

CD disco ball


This one is truly a New Year project. Here's an inspiration and a challenge for you: throw a 80s-style party for this New Year's Eve.

This CD disco ball will be a great fit. Just grab your (maybe also your friends') old unloved CDs, cut them to pieces and glue around a sphere.


Expired Plastic Cards Photo Frame

Plastic Cards Photo Frame

I am sure when your plastic card expires, you can't bring yourself into trashing it: maybe for good memories or because it looks cool.

Anyway, here's good news for you: you don't have to. Cut it into pieces and create a cool mosaic which you can then use to decorate a photo frame.

Stylish Bracelets Made of Negatives

Bracelets Made of Negatives

Remember that nice lamp made of negatives? This project is even cooler!

This is another way to take advantage of old negatives you already don't remember how to use: create stylish bracelets.

Magazine Bowl

Magazine Bowl

Ok, today's project seems to take some serious effort. And it looks like it doesn't have too many uses but it is still fun!

Imagine how much you and your kids may enjoy the process of folding and then arranging and gluing magazine pages.

Plastic Bottles Spheric Lamps

On: Monday, December 21, 2009

plastic bottle sphere lamp

Most of us have plenty of used empty plastic bottles at home: some of them can be spent on these cool plastic boxes, others (if you have many) - on this plastic bottle chair and if you still have some, consider this cool spheric lamp.

Empty, unlabeled plastic drink bottles create a burst of light and refraction. Besides, you can control the color of light by choosing different colors.
