5 Super Crafty Eco Etsy Finds for the Home

It’s not difficult to find page after page of awesome organic, upcycled and otherwise eco-friendly stuff at online handmade goods market Etsy.com. But, some of the gear you’ll find stands out in a crowd because it’s just plan ingenious. Check out these five ultra-crafty, creative home décor items made from old books, glass bottles, light bulbs, license plates and wine barrel staves.

Wreath Made of Vintage Book Pages

Unusual and exquisitely crafted, this beautiful wreath (above) is made from the pages of a book called The New Phonetic Chardenal, dated 1946. Simple Joys Paperie makes papercraft from old books that are falling apart, have pages missing or otherwise damaged.
Recycled Rolling Rock Beer Bottle Coasters

Rolling rock beer bottles have been kiln-fired and flattened into bubbly, surprisingly pretty glass coasters with the label still intact. YAVA Glass also sells a matching set of 4 upcycled Rolling Rock glasses.

Lightbulb Terrarium

Now that so many people have switched to CFLs, what to do with all those discarded conventional light bulbs? Some of them have been ingeniously transformed into miniature terrariums filled with moss and stones, and displayed on a copper wire base.

Recycled License Plate Clock

Any car and/or travel enthusiast would love this cute little clock, made from a hand-cut portion of a recycled California license plate along with recycled Chevy car timing gear. Powered by a precise Quartz component with black metal hands and a red second hand.

Wine Barrel Stave Glass and Bottle Display

Etsy seller SantaBarbaraCrafts has taken a section of wine barrel stave and upcycled it into a simple yet stylish way to display a bottle of wine and two glasses. Unique and creative, this display is fine-sanded and treated with beeswax and citrus oil wood conditioner for a soft, smooth finish. Each display is one-of-a-kind.
