Happy weekend friends!
The summer heat is on once again! So I’ll just go ahead and assume this is our last stretch of summer and fully embrace it! Since I fed the lawn before the last rain storm, I’m certain my extra required mowing will keep me nice and busy. LOL But the lawn sure is green so there’s that!
This past week I did manage to complete and get a new project up on the blog and it’s so cute!
Industrial wooden stool makeover with a clock design
Upcycled clock stool makeover with twine
My love for the industrial look runs deep, so I took it upon myself to do a fresh makeover on a tired old stool in my stash. I LOVE the clock vibe, plus the twine detail is just different and fun! Bet you won’t recognize it from the original before…
And this afternoon I was working on a flowerbed arrangement turning a large wooden spool into something I’ve never seen one be before. I think it turned out pretty cute so I’ll be sharing that next week!
Let’s now check this week’s fabulous upcycled project features from last week’s party and see if they don’t inspire you into action yourself!

What can you whip up from a damaged picture book? How about this adorable book page garland? I adore all the bright and happy colours which would cheer up wherever it’s hung!
Picture frame 3D sunflower art for fall decor
Fall picture frame sunflower art by Crazy Little Lovebirds
If you have an empty picture frame, here’s how to turn it into art! This charming sunflower scene on this frame is adorable. The layers tell a fall story so well. And now that you have the info at your creative fingertips, imagine the possibilities with any minis you could create!
Empty wine bottle wind chime
Wine bottle wind chime by The Apple Street Cottage
If you have an empty wine bottle handy, this tutorial shares how to create a gorgeous upscale wind chime with copper and wood! Oh goodness, this is so gorgeous. And I’d bet it sounds sensational in a gentle breeze!
Decoupaged prints onto rocks by Picture Box Blue
We’ve all heard of painted rocks, however here’s how to elevate that look with some adorable vintage images instead! This tutorial includes the printables so you can copy these (and more) exact images. Their vivid tones are so rich! However even if you don’t use these exact images, this project will inspire you to try others!
