Can’t remember if it’s been done, and I can’t run one myself at the moment, but I just saw a craft made from “trash” and it made me think a fun gallery to peruse would be one from a “Trash to Treasure” themed swap where all the crafts are made strictly from discarded items/trash/recycle bin finds.

Oooohhhh, I would love this swap! I love upcycled crafts. I have a few that I posted here.
This one has a tutorial on how to make a mini journal out of old cassette tapes.
Floppy Disc Pen/Pencil holder, maybe even a plant holder. Sorry for the thumbnail size. It’s the only one I have available.
Keyboard Picture frame.

I make miniatures out of trash ALL the time! I’d be interested!
Plates made from baked goods packaging.
Blender made from an eraser and a pen cap. Mixer from toothbrush handle and bowl from packaging from a gumball machine toy.
Perfume bottles from bits salvaged from a motherboard. And in an Altoids tin.
Tonic bottles from drinking straws. Test tubes from Capri Sun drinking straws. Bottles from motherboard parts.
Mini Altoids tin. More motherboard bottles. Cauldron from a pencil top eraser. Bits of string dipped in nail polish for lavender.

Love it! I bought a wooden vintage dollhouse and still needs to renovate it. These would look awesome! I’m guessing you have one. I would love to see photos of the house.

I actually don’t have a house yet! I have a room box, though. It was made as fan art for the book Dr. Potter’s Medicine Show by Eric Scott Fischl. He is The Mistress T’s husband.
Here is a link for the post I made on here about it: The Laboratory of the Nefarious Dr. Hedwith
