New Upcycle Ideas 816
Every Friday, 7pm through Wed, 11 pm pacific
Greetings, friends!
This past week, not only did I get a couple of fab new upcycled projects done up, I have one to share today too! It’s been a very productive week!
Multifunctional office shelf made with shutters
Easy office shelf made with shutters and a bulletin board
I’m a bit of a DIY shelf fanatic, so when this idea came into play, I had the best time figuring out how to make a super easy shelf for non-builders! Not only are the shelves fully adjustable, there’s a handy bulletin board smack in the middle you can cover any way you wish. This is an easy, rent-friendly way to shelve up nearly any surface or space!
I also have a cool new project I’ll be sharing next week along with a group of other creatives, so stay tuned… it’s a pretty fun thing to have using an old window!
So what have you upcycled this week, creative friends? Link it up! To start things up, here’s some fabulous upcycled project features from the last week’s party…

Handmade paper with pressed flowers detailing
Upcycled paper by The Apple Street Cottage
Oh. My. Gosh. If you too have been mesmerized by the decadent texture found with DIY paper, here’s your chance to make some! And how lovely are these pressed flowers in the corners of the sheets of paper?! This is such a lovely craft that can flip into cards (see how in the post) or just pretty enough to frame up as is!
Wintery star wreath made from aluminum cans
Upcycled aluminum can star wreath by Purple Hues and Me
After being inspired by another star wreath found online, this beautiful star wreath transpired utilizing aluminum cans… I kid you not! This project looks so perfect for Christmas or winter!
Simple and sweet toilet paper roll garland

Ooookay… this project is genius! This sweet little garland is completely made from toilet paper rolls, with ideas for different messages for different themes. Think parties, seasons, birthdays… you name it, you can make this! While you start collecting those rolls now, learn how in this tutorial!
Upcycled pot lid snowman sign

Need a little something special by the front door over winter? Look no further than a few pot lids to make this enchanting upcycled snowman to greet your guests! This is so sweet… and just love how the accessories tie in with the front door.
Vintage Valentine’s Day cards as shelf sitters
Stand-up Valentine’s Day cards by Fresh Vintage by Lisa S
Ever wish you could do ‘more’ with cute Valentine’s Day cards? Well, now you can make them stand up as decor! So if you’ve collected some vintage cards from years past, here’s how to proudly display them while enjoying them rather than tucked away inside some drawer! Brilliant idea, Lisa!
