New Upcycle Ideas 786

Every Friday, 7pm through Wed, 11 pm pacific

Greetings all!

And a very Happy 4th of July and a belated Happy Canada Day to you! Canadians celebrated Canada Day July 1st, so the day before, my son planned a full day together of eating out, a bike ride, sitting at the river, picking up treats for s’mores, movies and more. It was SO nice to kick back and just enjoy the moments.

So I didn’t manage to finish up a post on how I made some DIY stepping stones you can peek at in my vegetable garden post HERE, however I will for next week! All I know is, I could feel the lazy days of summer slip in for a couple days there, and I was dangerously close to pulling away for some needed vacation time… yet here I am. LOL

This past week, I spent some more time gathering more plants for the new bench garden transpiring, and drove a hurt bird into a nearby wildlife center. If you’d like to keep up with whatever is going on, please follow me on Instagram through stories HERE where I share lots of current moments.

So as always, thanks for bringing your projects over, and checking them all out! Here’s some fabulous upcycled projects from last week’s party, then onto the new linkups at the bottom of the post!

Faux sweater tomatoes for summer decor

After spying some stuffed tomatoes at Target, Deb did one better. She hauled out a red sweater and created these incredible sweater tomatoes that look head over heels more professional than her inspiration! Love the pop of red against the green, and displayed in baskets, how adorable!!

Farmhouse summer home and garden tour by Lora Bloomquist

Oh boy, are you in for a treat! When Lora offers up farmhouse home tours, they are must-sees. There’s SO many inspiring and creative ways to decorate indoors and out for summer using vintage and upcycling in this post! What really caught my eye were these garden tools used as trellises in the garden! Take the full tour… which does NOT disappoint!

Scrap fabric flags that are no-sew

 

No-sew scrap fabric flags by Lora Bloomquist

If you are a scrap fabric collector, you’ll want to pull out your red, white and blue fabric remnants to make these incredible fabric flags that don’t even require sewing! And while patriotic, they aren’t blatantly so, thanks to their quaint mixture of patterns and designs offering up a true-blue homespun vibe!

Upcycled cabinet door serving tray

 

Cabinet door serving tray by Creative Moments

If you too love a pretty serving tray, no need to spend big bucks or build from scratch, when you can upcycle an old cabinet door!  This lovely painted and decoupaged tray also can be used as a riser since it has added feet, making a very pretty centerpiece! 

Grass skirt lampshade cover by Homeward Found Decor

With the current upswing of baskets, or grassy materials and such seen on lampshades, Deb decided to bypass the big cost and make her own version! But it’s even easier than you may think. Check out this fabulous grass skirt lampshade that doesn’t require you to DIY from scratch at all! Oh I’d bet this would have a fabulous look illuminated in the evenings!
