Gave a new lease of life to 20 year old IKEA chest of drawers. My first attempt at upcycling something, it's a bit rough but I learned a few things along the way.
1
Found old lamp base in dumpster at my apartment. Cut old “Leap Frog” children’s globe in half and drilled a hole.
2
Neighbors moved a year ago and left these in the trash. Nothing a few pallets, some spray paint and extra tile can’t fix while isolating.
3
Spoons I carved from some Rainbow poplar scraps.
4
I upcycled this pillow case into a dress!!!
5
I made a summery garden bench out of my son’s old cot bed.
6
My mom made a handbag out of 2 old vinyl records. She crocheted them together after drilling holes in them.
7
Pop bottle flowers with baling wire stems and vinyl flooring centers.
8
I just finished this carbon steel chefsknife, made of a reclaimed circular sawblade. Handle made of marble Corian kitchen countertop scraps. Engraving done with a 10 watt laser and salt water etching.
9
Tried upcycling an old beach towel into a bucket hat but my pattern wasn’t to scale and it turned out too small. My pup is happy with his new hat though.
10
DIYed a soap dish out of unused takeout chopsticks, glue, and thread.
11
An old $3 goodwill coffee pot turned yoga sloth terrarium.
12
Had 3 pallets laying around in the garden and made a bench for potting plants for my girlfriend.
13
I broke out the crayons and restored an old drawing from when I was 9.
14
Any sports fans? Turned this basketball into a wallet - it's called "The Money Ball".
15
My mum built all these shelves and more out of old bed frames and scrap wood we’ve had laying around for years!
16
I upcycled my old coffee table today.
17
I made this snail out of things I picked up off the beach.
18
This man is recycling old picnic coolers into shelters for stray cats for winter! How very cool is this?!
19
My old favourite jeans turned into a pen roll.
20
Lockdown Project: IKEA bed becomes cat castle.
21
Free craigslist table + $6 faux marble shelf liner and two cans of white spray paint I found in the garage.
22
Decorated IKEA MOPPE with an old map I found.
23
A patio daybed created from and old preschool table, balance beam, chair cushion, and shower curtain.
24
Recycled an old guitar my wife said we didn't have room for. We now have room for it.
