There is something inherently exciting about repurposing (or
upcycling) an item. Like Dr.
Frankenstein, you bring bits and pieces together to create new life. Whether it’s converting an old door to
a headboard, turning a spoon into a coat hanger or snipping grandma’s bathrobe
into the latest fashion not only are you putting your own stamp on it, you are
being a good citizen of the planet.
Waste not want not.
That being said…I’m not sure I’m ready for toilet paper roll
art!
Here are a few of my favorites:
old bottles into a chandelier from dishfuntional designs
bottle tops into a strawberry basket from nicety
an old trunk into a love seat from recreate
One of my husband’s Hawaiian
shirts was getting a little frayed around the collar, but I love this shirt and
didn’t want to see it go. Instead
of putting it in the rag pile I turned it from Cinderella into :
a
totally fun backpack!
There’s even enough left for another project. Hhhmmmm….drink cozy anyone?
