New Upcycle Ideas 800

Every Friday, 7pm through Wed, 11 pm pacific

Greetings all!

Did you notice today’s milestone? We’ve hit 800 super creative link party posts enjoying everyone’s upcycled projects from far and wide!

Over the years, the link party has gone through rebranding and several changes, from having one massive party, to 3 individual linkups to now it’s current 1 upcycled topic, which happens to be my own passion. These days, the link parties are smaller, but they are mighty in quality! Due to the smaller size, from time to time I’ve asked my readers their thoughts on phasing the party out, but have always been met with astounding heel digging NO don’t you dare! So here we are at #800 and counting.

All that said, it’s always a good idea to evaluate any suggestions or improvements we can try out. So is there anything you’d like to see tried or different? I’d love to hear! Otherwise, our creative party will indeed live on as-is!

These days I don’t always seem to find enough time to belt out a new upcycled project each and every week. So just know how grateful I am that I get to get to appreciate you bringing yours over to share with all of us! You truly inspire me to get back into my workshop!

And with so many Halloween project features this week, I wanted to join you! Here’s one of my own favs:

Wood jack-o-lantern pumpkins made from 2×4 scraps

I love a good, simple DIY pumpkin project, so this idea of flipping 2×4 scraps into adorable jack o’lanterns is quick and easy! And cute as can be. Visit the post to see more combos and how to get this look effortlessly thanks to only one stencil that can do a LOT!

Onto the party! Here’s the latest upcycled project features from last week’s party, then onto the new additions in the linkup!

Halloween mini ghost on a swing that illuminates!

 

Illuminated ghost Halloween decor by A Crafty Mix

If you like your Halloween decor cute without the spook, this illuminated swinging ghost is perfection! Could you imagine passing this little guy on the way to trick or treating?! So delightful! I may get away with NOT putting all my son’s ugly plastic skulls all over the porch if I whip up one of these cuties instead! Time to get my bribe on…

And what’s not to love about a dollar store glass bowl flipping into an illuminated crystal ball? Oh my gosh… such a whimsical universe vibe!

DIY vintage doily table runner

 

Vintage doily table runner by Sum of their Stories

Have a doily collection that could be put to better use than stored in a drawer somewhere? This vintage doily table runner is a must-make! It adds a touch of quaint charm and warmth to any table top! Plus, being able to appreciate and celebrate someone’s handiwork doesn’t get much better than this!

Starched doily ghost that illuminates

Speaking of doilies, how about creating an instant ghost out of one? Oh my gosh… and while the day version of this doily ghost is absolute perfection, visit the post to see it illuminated at night! SO cool!

I myself have upcycled some Halloween decor from doilies that I haven’t built a post around… that may be next on the list!
