TOP 10 UPCYCLE PROJECTS

Hello peeps!! Here is my favorite Top 10 post to date. I absolutely love the idea of taking something useless or "at the end of its life" and bringing it back to SHINE. I've done this myself in some posts from last year, like my Ugly dresser redo and a few more. Check out my Furniture section down the left hand side search terms. This Top 10 List is of some absolutely beautiful projects that you need to have in your life! So, without any further delay, here is this month's Top 10:


1. UPCYCLED FURNITURE:

Ashley @ Edge Designs has a sweet tutorial for an armoire turned in to a beautiful addition to a newborns room. I'm not going to spoil it, you have to go over and check it out.

Mak and Jill @ Makandjill took old chairs and turned them into a beautiful outdoor bench. As well as some other gorgeous projects.

Dana @ Happy Day Vintage posted about an absolutely defunct entertainment center which I'm sure you've all seen (or maybe even had???) over the years. Don't turn your back on it! You can turn it in to awesomeness.

Solana @ Solo Thais has taken a dresser and turned it in to a perfect addition to the kitchen.

2. UPCYCLE ART

Camilla @ Family Chic has a simple but yet totally adorable tutorial for a wire hanger and yarn! Perfect for Valentine's Day, no??

3. UPCYCLE JARS

Chez Beeper Bebe has breathed new life into the jars in my house with this upcycle. No need to use mason jars. Why not use old sauce jars? I LOVE this one.

4. UPCYCLE BOOKS

Cathy @ Trinkets In Bloom has done the near impossible! Turning an old book cover into a designer knock-off! Check out this tutorial.

5. UPCYCLE BAG

Wayward Girls Crafts has claimed "Top Spot" in my Things Im Gonna Do Pinterest Board. Hubby bought me a camera for Christmas and I have yet to find a camera bag that is cute enough. Now, I can just make one myself!!

6. UPCYCLE SHIRT

The Art Zoo took a men's shirt and turned it into an on-trend tech accessory. A little sewing is all it takes.
Better than spending cash on a boring old store bought one..

7.  UPCYCLE WINE BOTTLES

BrightNest has a collection of great upcycle projects for wine bottles. I don't know about you, but my house is coming down with wine bottles after Christmas. This is a great alternative to throwing them out.

8. UPCYCLE SWEATERS

Going a Little Coastal took an old cashmere sweater and gave it a second chance. Take a good look at those old sweater peeps, there are a tonne of possibilities in there!!

9. UPCYCLE JEWELLERY BOXES

We're back with Happy Day Vintage for a post on upcycled jewellery boxes. I have one that I actually hide away 'cause it doesn't fit the decor. Now, I can bring it out and make it my own.

10. UPCYCLE STORAGE

Cheryl @ Nefotlak has taken some jars and a coat rack and made something wonderful and functional. Okay I know this maybe cheating as its jars too but I think her storage-type use for them  is different, don't you??

Try upcycling something soon!!
