Cassette Tape Art

I love art that has to do with music, so when I came across iri5 studio's 

artwork made from old cassette tapes, I knew I had to share them with you!

Made by Erika Iris, each artwork is made with cassette tape or film. Check out 

her website here.

Greenhouses Made With Salvaged Windows

Think it's too early to thinking about and planning for spring? Never!

As a matter of fact, now is the perfect time to begin planning your yard and gardens, 
and for more reasons than one. First of all, it's wise to plan ahead and be prepared, 
but even more beneficial  (at least in my eyes) is the lift your spirits get when you
envision the warmer weather, the blooming flowers, and all the other things that
come along with springtime. 

What better way to recycle old windows than build them into a unique garden greenhouse

 or potting shed? Check out what some creative folks have crafted using reclaimed old 

windows and doors, and maybe you'll be inspired to create your own!

The holiday season is quickly approaching and many of us are busy decorating our 
homes for Christmas. This year, why not create your own unique holiday wreath

purchased at most dollar stores), a glue gun, and a little creative thinking.

Check out these extraordinary upcycled wreaths created from ordinary household 
objects and maybe you'll be inspired to try your hand at creating one for yourself!
