“I refinished a bunch of Applaro pieces from Facebook Marketplace for our patio! After hours of sanding, staining, and polishing, I’m super happy with the outcome.”
“A friend of mine gave me these 30-year-old speakers for free because the foam was disintegrated.”
“I spent $30 on a foam kit and a couple of hours in the evening and they’re good as new. I love fixing things!”
“I upgraded the floor for $35.”
“I’m using dollar store dryer balls as shiatsu massage balls. In the past, I purchased the same type of balls from my physiotherapist for $40. These cost $1.25 at the dollar store and work just as well.”
“Have a cr#ppy desk chair that offers no back support? Slide a pillowcase over it with a firm, fluffy pillow.”
“Instead of buying a new $300 chandelier, I bought this antique one for $40 and spent a few hours buffing it clean.”
“Trim laundry scoops to prevent overuse (and waste).”
“I needed something to support my plant, so I used chopsticks.”
“I haven’t gotten my nails done in over a year. I’ll take imperfection + $400 saved any day.”
“A broken television becomes a new bed and a toy for a kitten. That’s how you save $20 at a pet store for a comfy new spot.”
“Every pair of jeans that starts to wear out become jorts in this household.”
“I fixed my purse after breaking it instead of throwing it out. It’s a small mend job, but I’m pretty proud of it.”
“A new dog collar from an old belt — I cut it down and drilled new holes.”
“Instead of buying brand new pieces, my significant other is saving us money by painting over old wall art she’s tired of and mimicking what she sees in stores.”
“Instead of buying a strap that costs more than the watch itself, I made a new one with stuff I already had.”
“After our shower was renovated, the curtain rod sat several inches higher than the old one. Instead of buying a new shower curtain, I bought a few packs of shower curtain rings for about $6 to make it long enough!”
“My pillowcase kept sliding off. Instead of buying a new one, I just made 2 slits and tied a ribbon through it to hold the case!”
“I made new covers for my headphones. They’re very comfy.”
“I fixed the armchair by sewing on cat scratching pads.”
