DIY with Leftovers: Projects Made from Scrap and Surplus

Scrap Wood Wall Art: Turn wood scraps into geometric wall art. Sand, stain, or paint pieces in various shapes, then arrange them into a mosaic or abstract design. Mount on a plywood backing for a rustic, custom piece.

2. Fabric Scrap Coasters: Use leftover fabric to make colorful coasters. Cut squares, layer with batting, and sew or glue edges. These add charm to any table while reducing waste.

3. Jar Lid Magnets: Don’t toss old jar lids! Paint or cover with decorative paper, glue a magnet inside, and use them to organize your fridge or magnetic board.

4. Tile Mosaic Tray: Broken or surplus tiles? Create a mosaic tray. Glue tile pieces onto a wooden tray in a pattern, then grout and seal for a vibrant serving piece.

5. Rope-Wrapped Vases: Wrap old glass bottles with leftover rope or twine, securing with hot glue. These chic vases elevate any space.

These projects turn leftovers into functional art, saving money and reducing waste. Get creative and let your scraps shine
