“My friend was going to throw these nesting tables from IKEA away because they were covered in mug rings, and I asked if I could have them. One sheet of window contact paper later and I think they look better than new!”

“Picked up a free cardigan that looked much better in the photo than it did in person, so I turned it back into yarn and crocheted a cat bed out of it.”

3

“I turned a broken air compressor into a flower pot that has a reservoir.”

4

“IKEA bags that got turned into a windbreaker.”

“Turned an old mannequin hand and a gold metal tray into a light! Not my idea originally, but I saw some similar ones online.”

“This ceiling decoration was inside the bathroom at an artist collective and was made from bottle caps. They had lots of upcycled art made from plastics and bottle caps!”

14

“From boring pine to FIESTA TIME! It’s an upcycled Mexican-themed coffee table with pom-pom embellishments.”

15

“I upcycled a thrifted men’s polo into a 2-piece set. I drafted the pattern myself — the mini skirt has a yoke, box pleats, and an elastic waistband. I kept the collar on the top and made it into a halter with a lettuce hem!”

16

“Made a regency-inspired wedding gown out of an old thrifted curtain! It had some rips and stains, but I was able to work around it!”

17

“A neighbor was giving this nightstand away so I repainted it with my 10-year-old son.”
