New Upcycle Ideas 793

Every Friday, 7pm through Wed, 11 pm pacific

Greetings all!

We are working through another VERY hot weekend! Each time we get hit, I wonder, is this the last for the year? Could be! So I’m doing my best to keep from complaining (when I have to go outside) and just stay comfy indoors!

But I am super thrilled I got this wonderful shoot in before the heat set in…

Virginia Creeper growing on garden arches

 

Growing Virginia Creeper on garden arches: tips with summer yard tour!

My incredible arbors I landed back in April are in their full summer glory and looking splendid! And after much reading, sounds like the best is yet to come in fall when they turn orange! I also included what the other one looks like, plus added a mini summer outdoor tour, so come on over and see what’s new… and why YOU may want one of these vines after you hear all the wonderful things it provides!

Not sure what my next project will be, but I’d sure love to still squeeze in washing all the windows and paint the house trim, even though it’s already near the end of August. How did that happen so quickly?!

Are you running a little behind your summer goals as well? What do you still want to get done before the end of summer?

Enough about me! Let’s now check out this week’s fabulous features from last week’s upcycled party, then onto the new linkups!

It was SO hard to stop at 5 features, so if you haven’t yet, go visit this party with 24 jaw dropping entries!

One printable will enable you to create these magical 3D paper fruit decor pieces that can be used anyway you wish! Visit this post and you will say WOW too! Plus… I now want to buy a colour printer too please…

Craft your own faux olive topiary in any size, any shape!

 

DIY faux olive topiary by Sonata at Home Design

If you too love the olive tree look, here’s how to make one into a topiary yourself for a fraction of the cost! Oh my gosh… I also love the idea that you can shape it any way you wish!

Illuminating jewel style pumpkin

 

Gem-style wire pumpkin by Purple Hues and me

After being inspired by a gemstone pumpkin, this bling-style wire pumpkin quickly became a thing! Oh my, this is so pretty! And honestly, looks to be quite easy to make! But wait until you see illuminated in the evening… woa…

Hand painted plywood pumpkins, Tiki-style!

 

Wooden Tiki pumpkins by Homeward Found Decor

If you have some plywood handy, you too can paint your own tiki-style pumpkins or whatever design you wish! These tiki designs though are SO fun and unique! I love it when Deb goes off-the-rails with a theme, because the ideas always end up so out-of-the-box! Keep on tiki-ing on, Deb!

Indoor watercolour succulent garden using napkins!

 

Watercolour succulent garden by A Crafty Mix

If you love indoor plants but are challenged keeping them alive, these watercolour succulents may be right up your alley! But not to worry, you don’t even have to be a watercolour artist as these images are from napkins! Oh my word… such a must-see.
