A Cute Children DIY Project ~ Cakes out of Bottle Caps

Reuse old bottle caps! You already saw how to make a bottle caps chandelier and a bottle caps soad dish.

Here's one delicious and colorful kids bottle caps project!

Remember that famous quote: Let them eat cakes? In this case - DON'T let them eat cakes! Let them make cakes, let them admire them and let them play with them! :)

Extra tip: you can probably use food colors for caps coloring too. Try it and report the result!

DIY recycling: from a detergent jag to an african mask

Here's a great & fun idea on how to reuse old detergent jags! You can play with your kids and make your very own africa influenced masks and even a totem pole!

For other important instructions click here.

Extra tip: as you can see in the first picture, these "masks" don't have to be african. You can play and search for some interesting portret and then try to make it out of a jag. Or maybe you could start with a family photo!

A cute DIY Easter project with recycled toilet tubes

I believe you've noticed by yourself and don't need me to point it out, but - the bunny craziness has arrived! Not only has it arrived, it's been with us for quite some time.

For all of those bunny lovers and those if-you-can't-win-them-join-them-ers, here's a cute little DIY project! Upcycle your toilet rolls and make a giant Easter bunny family and perhaps share it with your family and friends!

You can find this spring tutorial at this place.

Extra tip: the more (colors) the merrier (the bunny)! Enjoy!

Upcycle egg carton and invoke spring to your home!

Here's a fun and colorful project that you can make by yourself or with friends, kids or family.

It’s an egg wreath! Ok, not really. Eggs are necessary only because they’re in the box we need. Empty the box and put the eggs in the fridge, or wait until you’ve eaten them and then use the box.

You’ll need carton or paper for the wreath shaped base, a pair of scissors and some paint (tempera or something similar).

You’ll be making flowers out of the egg carton. You’ll then color them and glue them on the wreath base of the structure. Hang it on your door and celebrate spring! Click on the pictures for the tutorials.

This idea originated at krokotak.

Beside this awesome idea, you can make flowers out of the egg box and arrange them into a bouquet which you can then put in a vase.

Extra tip: if you haven't got a nice vase, or you want something unbreakable in case your kids knock it down, you can make a vase by yourself, out of a can, a bottle or a cardboard tube!

A DIY bird feeder made of recycled milk and juice cartons

It’s still cold outside! Help your feathered neighbors by making them a cheap recycled feeder, and have fun thereat. To upcycle a milk or juice carton, the basic things you need are a carton (yes!), a pair of scissors, glue, paint or colored papers and an ice cream stick or a branch.

The first example is from parents.com (parents know best, right?).

They decorated their feeder with colorful little buttons. And check out that roof!

The next example is a cheerful family project, which you can find at rythmofthehome :

 Extra tip: maybe it would be wise to coat the carton with some waterproof material, such as plastic wrap. It can be decorated with colors or transparent, and you can just add it after you’ve finished decorating your bird feeder.
