Book Review: Charming Woodland Crafts – A Nature-Inspired Treasure Trove for Eco-Friendly Creators

May 3, 2025 by Shellie Wilson

recycled nature crafts

If you’re someone who loves turning natural and recycled materials into beautiful handmade crafts, then Charming Woodland Crafts is a book you’ll want on your shelf — or more accurately, on your craft table covered in bark, twigs, and acorns.

Written with heart and earthy inspiration, this book is a delightful collection of nature-inspired DIY projects that speak to the soul of every upcycler and eco-conscious crafter. From rustic woodland animals to whimsical fairy doors, each project captures the simple magic of the forest while encouraging sustainable crafting with recycled materials.

What I appreciated most is how approachable the projects are — you don’t need fancy equipment or costly supplies. Just step outside, gather some twigs, pinecones, and pebbles, and you’re halfway there. For those of us who love eco-friendly crafts, this book is a gentle nudge to get outdoors and use what nature already provides.

Perfect for crafting with kids, making thoughtful handmade gifts, or even decorating your home or garden with a rustic woodland aesthetic, this book ticks all the boxes. The photography is gorgeous and the instructions are clear, with just enough creative wiggle room to make each piece your own.

If you’re a fan of recycled craft ideas, zero-waste projects, or just want a new way to connect your crafting with the natural world, Charming Woodland Crafts is a lovely and inspiring resource. It fits right in with our blog’s mission to make beautiful things from what others might throw away.
