Reusable glass coffee cup
Glasses are classic mainstays in most homes. Whether you use it to enjoy the kiss of life from your morning tea or coffee, or as a decorative family collectible, glass coffee cups can elevate the elegance of any room. Plus, by giving it as a gift, you are offering a thoughtful touch of warmth to help your loved ones sail through times of difficulty.
Mason jar lid coasters
An authentic statement piece with delicate decorative details, upcycled Mason jar lids turned into lovely, eco-friendly, and coordinated coasters can become your family’s next unique collectible set. As far as the concept of gift-giving goes, there is nothing wrong with crafting a new and unique gift out of scrap metal. Plus, it may even work as an exciting conversation starter!
Customized home organizer cans and jars
If the person you wish to give gifts to is a sucker for organizing things, custom-made canisters, cans, and jars are the perfect gift. It’s quick and easy to make, with even the basic metal recycling skills. Plus, these can be customized, so they could serve as both an accent and a transformative feature that will give your organizer family or friend an utterly unique gift created to suit their quirks and taste.
Denim tassel earrings
If you’re shopping for a gift for your fashionista friends and family, then making fancy tassel earrings from scraps of denim is an absolute no-brainer. Plus, who wouldn’t love unique and fancy summer accessories? You may go bold and long for effect, switch between hoops and hooks, or make them in sets of differently colored threads. Oh, the possibilities!
Metal candle holders, lampshades, and vases
Recycling empty metal cans to create rustic candle holders, centerpieces, lampshades, or vases is yet another way to give a unique and thoughtful gift to your loved ones. A few brush strokes, several cans of paints, some glue, and maybe a ribbon or two, and you’ll have uniquely designed timeless pieces that your family and friends will love.
Whether you’re on the hunt for gifts perfect for the daily grind or some go-to essentials for your designer friends, it doesn’t always have to be as expensive. Instead, you may opt to make your gift from upcycled materials and enjoy unique and creative new products that your family and friends will surely love.
