This vase is made from tightly rolled magazine pages. I've seen a similar technique used to decorate picture frames as well.
This chair was given a new seat using men's ties plaited together. Underneath the ends of the ties are simply knotted together.
An old Texas license plate has been turned into a dust pan with a few bends & the addition of a handle.
And finally, a sailboat art decor piece made from aluminum cans. Of course, if I were to try this, it would have to be fashioned out of Coca-Cola cans!
In the spirit of upcycling, I'm starting the new Lift Me Up workshop at BPC today. The class is four weeks long and provides inspiration and instructions for four creative upcycling projects. Anyone else taking this class?
Thanks for sharing Melissa! I'm particularly amazed by the Budweiser ship!
ReplyDeleteThose are some awesome projects, especially the magazine vase. I did not take this class, maybe that was a mistake!
ReplyDeleteLove the dustpan. I'll look forward to the results of the class you're taking.
