Friends of Glass Deutschland

Friends of Glass transforms discarded glass containers into functional home decor through documented DIY projects, including terrariums, herb gardens, and decorative lighting fixtures. The Portland-based content creator publishes step-by-step upcycling tutorials across YouTube and Instagram, focusing on accessible techniques for glass cutting, etching, and repurposing. Their video library features over 200 glass-specific project guides, complemented by downloadable PDF instruction sheets and materials lists. The platform's sustainable food content centers on plant-based recipes optimized for glass container storage and preservation. Their signature series includes detailed processes for homemade yogurt production, overnight oats preparation, and fermented vegetables. Each recipe integrates specific guidance on sterilizing and reusing glass vessels, proper storage techniques, and food safety protocols. The creator partners with local recycling centers to source materials and hosts monthly glass upcycling workshops at community centers throughout Oregon. Their educational outreach extends to collaboration with regional sustainability programs, providing glass craft demonstrations at environmental festivals and zero-waste events. Friends of Glass maintains certification in food safety handling and participates in the EPA's WasteWise program.
