We’re One! Come Grab Your Birthday Gifts 🎁
Today’s the day — Remnants is officially one year old!
What started as a wild idea to connect upcyclers and creatives has turned into a community of sellers, shoppers, and makers who believe in giving materials a second life. Whether you’ve sold, shopped, or simply shared encouragement along the way, thank you for being part of our first year.
To celebrate, we’ve wrapped up three special “birthday gifts” just for you:

✨ Free Workshops — Our Gift to You
We’re closing out our first year with four totally free creative reuse workshops. Each workshop is a social learning experience or optional craft-along.
Come with supplies and make something in real time, or simply join to watch, chat, and learn with fellow community members. Choose a workshop below, and RSVP to save your seat!
Sat. Nov 22 » Unravel & Reclaim: How to Harvest Yarn from Old Sweaters
Good-quality yarn doesn’t just come in skeins — sometimes it’s hiding inside sweaters and blankets. Join textile artist Mary Beth Temple as she shows you how to select items for reuse, safely deconstruct them, and prepare your newly harvested yarn for knitting or crochet projects you’ll love.
Tues. Nov 25 » Broken Plate Mosaic Workshop (Create Your Own Tray!)
Turn broken ceramic plates into a beautiful mosaic tray. You’ll learn how to arrange your pieces, adhere them with mosaic glue, and finish with plaster or grout for a smooth, durable design. A hands-on, beginner-friendly creative reuse project.
Thurs. Dec 4 » DIY Self-Watering Glass Bottle Planter (Cut + Etch Your Own!)
Transform an ordinary glass bottle into a functional self-watering planter in this two-part workshop. Learn how to cut and smooth a bottle, then customize it with a simple etched design. Perfect for herbs, seedlings, flowers — and for beginner makers and gardeners alike.
Wed. Dec 10 » Make Your Own Sticker & Print Dispenser (From Upcycled Cardboard!)
Ever wish your stickers or mini prints came out in a neat, satisfying pull? Artist and maker Fafa Hahn will show you how to build a working dispenser from nothing more than upcycled cardboard and a few household materials. Functional, fun, and surprisingly easy.
🪩 Join the “Let’s Party” Challenge
This month’s creative challenge is all about celebration. Show us your party-themed upcycle or handmade creation — anything from repurposed decor and accessories to DIY gifts or festive art.
Post your project in the Peo Vee community by November 30 and you’ll be automatically entered to win a $100 Remnants gift code to shop our entire site.
Need some inspiration? Think confetti crafts, upcycled table decor, creative wrapping ideas, or anything that brings your version of “party” to life.
