Music From Nothing


Simply amazing. This project gives meaning to the lives of under-privileged children living in Paraguay by giving them access to music. And it is done in such an astonishing way–the instruments are constructed from pieces of trash, yet sound beautiful and stunningly close to their off-the-shelf counterparts. Also, I would never pass up the opportunity to recognize a great pun: they call themselves the “landfillharmonic”, which is simply brilliant.

Frame Memory Board

If you have an old picture frame with nothing to display, consider turning it into a lovely memory or inspiration board like this from Houzz. Simply decorate it and add a piece of chicken wire to make an elegant display piece!

Repurposed Window

This was a birthday present my mother made for me a few years ago. Naturally, she found an old window among our trash, as well as a defunct table with perfectly functioning legs. She painted the wooden parts white and set a piece of glass on top to make it into a bedside table for me. One of many awesome ways to make something very usable out of some otherwise useless things, as well as a type of project this group can expect to create in the future.
