10+ Fun Ways to Upcycle

I am loving having a chance to check out all of your wonderful links at The Scoop! You all are so creative! If you hurry, you can still join us for this week’s edition by clicking here. And what did I find that  inspired me this week? Some really fun examples of upcycling! What’s that? Here you go…

upcycle…to reuse (discarded objects or material) in such a way as to create a product of a higher quality or value than the original. 

Keep reading and you’ll see what I mean!

Confessions of a Serial Do-It-Yourselfer combined old fence pickets and a thrift store frame to create this beautiful tray!

A yardsale sweater and a dollar store vase are all that you need to make this fun fall vase from Posed Perfection!

An old door got a new life with the addiction of a little table, a shelf and some crown molding from Gail’s Decorative Touch!

I love this one! Flatrock Cabin turned a $6.00 pair of Walmart sneakers into a cute pair of saddle shoes with just a fabric marker! That brings back some memories!

Don’t you love this? Home Made Modern gives us a detailed tutorial for creating this cute art work from a pallet!

Gotta love this clever way to create a pumpkin from a flower pot and a saucer! Shaken Together shows us how!

Flower Patch Farmhouse shares her potting bench all decorated for fall. How fun is that? And as its base…cedar fence pickets!

Wow! I am amazed by these fabulous planter boxes created from salvaged wood by Glass Slipper Restorations! And do you see the trellis? That’s actually a rusty old iron gate! Can’t wait to see it full of plants!

How clever is this! Tattered Tiqiues made this fall wreath from the lid of a vintage bushel basket! Love it!

This before and after photo says it all…a Vintage Green picked up an old plywood box at a garage sale and gave it a vintage grain sack look! Head over to see how she did it!

And I have to get in on the act and share my favorite upcycling project… my Pottery Barn inspired monogrammed serving board made from a thrift store cutting board and some baseboard corner posts. You can see how I did it for practically nothing by clicking here.

 Don't forget...there’s still time to link up if you haven’t yet and lots more to see as well, so head on over to The Scoop to check out more wonderfully creative links and share yours! I am also featuring some of your links on my new Pinterest board Shared at The Scoop Linky Party and I have shared them on my blog's Facebook page.
