Let's Make It: Headband Holder


Pure genius I tell you!
Sommer,the super talented blogger at  Designer Garden
was cleaning her pantry and ridding it of old items.
Those of you who read my blog, KNOW that I LOVE a good upcycle!
Sommer saw the oatmeal container, pictured a headband holder in her mind, and looky
looky!
I hope this inspires you to think & create before you pitch.

DIY Denim Overalls Turned Apron








You know I love a good upcycle, and this is no different. The way kids go through clothes, it’s awesome to find tutorials like Jennifer’s over at Foundations (found via Whimsy Couture Sewing Blog). Jennifer turned a basic pair of kid’s overalls into a child’s apron with just a little effort and some extra fabric to jazz it up. Nice job Jennifer!

Shirt Turned Into a Pillow








Miranda took some of her hubby’s old shirts and created these stylish pillows. This would make a great upcycle project repurposing old shirts you may have, or even grabbing some nice ones from the local thrift store. These would look nice anywhere but I see potential for these in kids’ rooms! Stop by Miranda’s blog, Just Drink a Coke (I just love that name, don’t you?), say hello and check out the easy peasy tutorial.

Burlap Kitchen Bins





Inspired by the creation of storage bins by other bloggers, Courtney created hers from her moving boxes to use as storage above her kitchen cabinets. These especially appeal to me because of their size and the use of burlap. I am needing some of these myself, so I will be needing to locate some boxes or start saving those diaper boxes. Stop by HERE to see how she did it.

Little Leprechaun Hat

Melinda, from Under My Umbrella created this adorable little leprechaun hat for her guest blogging tutorial at Lolly Jane Boutique. What I love about this, besides it's cuteness, is that we often have scrap wood because of our bigger projects and can make these using the leftovers! Stop by and read how to make this HERE.

Autumn in the country cannot withhold the sky, And the flowers will never die








Tatum tells us the life span of a pair of tights, in her home, are short. Ever creative, she came up with a useful way to re-purpose/upcycle the tights. And you know I love a good upcycle! She gives a step-by-step tutorial on how to create a flower using the tights, that would otherwise be discarded. Once you complete the flower, there are many uses for the flowers: hair clips, pin to clothing, and home décor.

Can you, dear readers, think of a way to use them that I am missing?

If I could save time in a bottle ...







Lisa shows us how to take bottles from our everyday life and re-purpose them instead of throwing them away as we normally would. She has a tutorial to get the best results to keep it looking good over time.
