Your Best Upcycling Ideas

Dear users and authors,
here you can share your best upcycling ideas in words and pictures (please use only your own photos). 

That’s right—that’s a great new use for it, too!
My car-crazy sweetheart can contribute something here—our coffee table used to be an engine:

And here’s one of the oldest upcycling ideas: when stuffed animals were in short supply after the war, my mother-in-law picked up a needle and thread and made a teddy bear substitute:



From a broken IKEA shelf…
I made
a stand for my illuminated rock crystal—I sawed and painted it and decorated it with wooden beads from the flea market… with WOOL tassels

Wow, that looks great!

You all have great ideas.

We still have a sled in the garage, too. I’d like to paint it white someday—maybe even turn it into a shelf.

The motorcycle—great idea and well executed—a great way to stay close to your hobby.

The stand is a real eye-catcher. 

I like to decorate old paintbrushes.
Here, for example, I used the bristles as hairstyles and sculpted faces out of air-drying modeling clay.
They stand on bases that I cast from concrete.

Nothing too exciting—but a fun and simple craft idea for Easter
not just for the Easter tree—you can also hang them in the window, use them as table decorations, and so on
made from coffee capsules and popsicle sticks

@c-z1,
the title of this thread says “no advertising” (visible only to authors), which means that advertising links to patterns in the shop or blog aren’t actually allowed here. However, I’m making an exception in this case because it fits the topic; I do ask that you pay attention to the title or the first post of a thread in the future. There you’ll find all the information on whether advertising is allowed in that thread or not.

It would be great if you could also include a photo in your blog post.
