win a share of the post rewards!
Welcome to our June Contest!
This time, we’re diving into the world of sustainability and creativity dear DIYHubers! Get ready to turn trash into treasure with this month’s theme:
Recycling DIYs!
Before diving into the details of this month's exciting new theme, let’s take a quick look at the results of our Kitchen DIY contest!
May Kitchen DIY ContestReview of the Previous Contest
Once again, your creativity has left us speechless! The kitchen projects you shared were useful and full of original inspiration. From beautiful needlework to useful handcrafted tools, your ideas made us want to renew our own kitchens with some cool DIYs!
We also want to share a bit of constructive feedback: over 50% of the contest entries, while creative, didn’t have much practical use. At DIYHub, we're aiming to shift our focus - together with you - toward more sustainable and resource-conscious projects. You don't have to invent new things but please use the materials you have with care and don't waste them just to get into the contest or getting upvotes.
Next month is the perfect contest to kick this off, and we’ll be sharing a dedicated post on this topic in the coming days. Stay tuned!
A big THANK YOU to everyone who participated:

Heyyy @storicious! 🌱 We're hoping to plant a seed toward a more mindful direction, and you summed it up perfectly. Being resource-aware and actively recycling materials is definitely a win-win - if not a win-win-win-win… 😄 Thanks so much for your comment, and we’d love to see you join the contest too!

I express my respect and love to all the winners present. I am eternally grateful to all of you for your hard work. It was a great time for all of us to create beautiful and elegant kitchen art.
Also, our beloved community has invited us all again in a new contest to use the recycling method. So let's sharpen our skills once again and see how much beautiful and elegant art we can prepare.
@diyhub sir this time the event was very nice. In this special event, we will be able to gain great experience about the recycling art method. I wish everyone success.
Also, a comment from you always inspires me and all of us to inspire all of us with your hard work. I thank you very much for this new event, including all the curators present.
Best regards @mdakash62
@diyhub I am very grateful to the DYHbud community for this award. First of all, I would like to congratulate all my colleagues for their beautiful works. The beautiful work that this community has put all the effort to save our planet, makes us aware to continue recycling and make the most of the waste transforming them to give them another use and thus minimize waste. Thank you.
Congratulations friend. Minimizing waste should be our priority. We would love to see Hiveans give life to old things. We await your entry too, goodluck.

LOVE IT!
What a brilliant topic for this contest as we all need to be thinking outside the box to work out what can be re-used, re-cycled, re-purposed and upcycled so the amount of landfill gets reduced.
And if every single one of us does our part, then it's on the big corporations to do theirs too.
I know I have quite a few ideas- And quite a few things stashed away already - I learnt from my mum- a post WW2 baby and they hardly had anything new, so everything was saved because it could all somehow be used for something else.
I can't wait to see some of the posts for this one!
Thank you so much for your amazing comment—it perfectly captures the message we want to convey with this content. The power of consumers is often underestimated, but we can change the world. Big corporations won’t do it on their own, as they’re driven by profit, not purpose.
We’d love to see a DIY project you've created, inspired by your mom, for this contest! 💖

Yeah no worries, but that comment is...not only just me and what I believe, but its also logic, commonsense and practicality too.
"One man's trash is another one's treasure"
I only ever shop at op shops- except for undies, they do need to be brand new...lol..I actually volunteer at an opshop and the amount of donations is just mind blowing...
When in the supermarket, I only ever buy food that is on-special with a soon expiry date as I HATE wastage of any kind, wash to reuse plastic bags, refuse to use the new cardboard bags that the supermarkets have bought out to combat the plastic waste (great lets chop down more tree to save the earth from plastic...), keeps all of my postage boxes, bubble wrap, etc to re-use, and my flatmate is even saving me all of the silver thermal insulation foil from his pre-made food deliveries so I can use it on my 2nd hand van as insulation when I properly deck it out. and that's just the tip of the iceberg...lol...
Oh and I also have 2 buckets in my shower to collect the water and one small one in my sink and this is the water that I flush down my toilet as I cannot justify literally flushing, good, cleaning water down the toilet. Plus the toilet then smells nice from the soaps and shampoos and toothpaste too!
when I do a load of laundry, I put the out hose from the rinse cycle into a series of buckets and thats the water I use for the next wash and if I don't have a next wash due, that water is used to flush to toilet too.
Some of these are tips learn from mum, others are ones that I learnt when living completely off- grid in the Daintree Rainforest.
Congratulations to all the winners and participants of the previous contest, your work was great.
I hope to be able to participate in this new theme, from the June contest, I love it, it is one of my favorites.👌💖
This is so good and I would also submit an entry.
Congratulations to all the winners☺️👍🏼..
