New Upcycle Ideas 680
Every Friday, 7 PM through Wednesday 11 PM Pacific
Greetings! Welcome to another riveting and fun weekend of inspiring repurposed projects to make with things you may already have hanging around!
Yesterday, the newest stencils arrived on my doorstep! Whoop! So I’ll be doing photo shoots today, then getting creative with them!
Stenciled faux hinges
But here’s a peek! I used the Hinges stencil as if it’s holding this slightly reworked Organic Coffee mug hooks sign together. Isn’t that fun?!
The hinges are life-sized so you can even use real screws if desired!
Check out all the newest stencils HERE
So while I ramp up the creativity meter here, let’s check out some fabulous repurposed project features from last week’s post…

How to cast clay using take-out dishes
Clay casting mold any design with a take-out styrofoam container
This is not an ancient artifact dug up from centuries ago. Wait to be mind-blown. This fantastic tutorial shares how to use a styrofoam take-out container and use it to create clay or concrete molds… with any stencil design! Goodness gracious. I have some advanced experimenting to do.

Donna thank you so much for hosting this party, and including my upcycled ‘bee cups’ project – i’ve seen bees and butterflies using them in my herb garden, but i’m not fast enough to snap a photo LOL!
These are all fantastic!!
