Looking to add a touch of sustainability to your DIY projects or don’t know what to do with your used Repurpose products? We’ve got you covered! Repurpose products aren’t just great for sustainable dining—they also make for some fun and easy upcycling projects. By upcycling everyday items like cups, paper towels, and trash bags, you can contribute to a greener planet and save money at the same time. Here are four sustainable DIY projects that will not only reduce waste but also help you get creative with items you might already have lying around your house!
1. Upcycled Hanging Planters
Turn your used Repurpose Hot & Cold Cups into stylish hanging planters that bring a green and stylish touch to your space!
Materials:
✂️ Scissors
🧵 String or twine
🌱 Soil and small plants or herbs
Instructions:
- Cut two small holes near the rim of the cup, opposite each other.
- Thread the string or twine through the holes and tie knots on the inside of the cup to secure the string.
- Add soil to the cups and plant your small plants or herbs.
- Hang the cups in a sunny window or outside for a cute, eco-friendly planter.
*Bonus: Write the names of each plant on the handles of our Repurpose Assorted Cutlery and stick them into the soil for easy identification.
🤩 Sustainable touch: This project not only reuses cups that would otherwise be discarded if not composted, but it also promotes the growth of indoor plants, which help improve air quality and create a more eco-friendly living space.
2. Compostable Tableware Picnic Kit
Enjoy mess-free picnics with Repurpose’s compostable tableware. Say goodbye to washing dishes and hello to guilt-free outdoor dining!
Materials:
🌱 Repurpose Premium Bamboo Paper Towels
🌱 Seeds
💧 Water
🪴 Small pot or garden space
Instructions:
- Tear off a sheet of bamboo paper towel and wet it with water.
- Sprinkle desired seeds onto the wet paper towel and fold it.
- Continue to mist it when it starts to dry out.
- When growth is visible, move the seed to moist soil and watch it sprout!
🤩 Sustainable Touch: Bamboo is a renewable resource, growing quickly and with less environmental impact than traditional paper products. By reusing bamboo paper towels for seed starters, you’re giving them a second life and supporting the growth of new plants.
