New Upcycle Ideas 824
Every Friday, 7pm through Wed, 11 pm pacific
Greetings, friends!
This past week, my cat wouldn’t let me sleep. So that is why I don’t have a project to share.
Sounds like a ‘dog ate my homework’ excuse, doesn’t it? But my little girl has been having some challenges with her health, waking me up through the night. We’re figuring it out, but now I sleep when she does. Does that ring a bell at all?! Goodness. I’m near retirement and my new baby is my 13 year old cat.
But no worries… I’m making up for it next week by sharing a super cool project that was SO long overdue, and looks like a million bucks! Along with my other creative friends flipping thrift store items! So stay tuned for next Wed for a GOOD TIME! And hopefully a good night’s sleep too.
On to the party! What have you upcycled lately, creative friends? Link it up! To start things off, here’s some fabulous upcycled project features from the last week’s party…

Memorabilia shadow box art with matchbooks
Shadow box art with Vintage Matchbooks by Sadie Seasongoods
If you are a collector of matches, or any paper memorabilia for that matter that you have hidden away, it’s high time you learn how to display it like a pro through this project! Wow. Now that’s art from the heart right there. And everything looks so striking with that background hack set beautifully in a frame. What a fabulous memory maker and art piece all-in-one!
Brass button bracelet with a special crafting purpose
DIY button bracelet by Birdz of a Feather
These incredible brass buttons were put to exceptional work, becoming a stunning bracelet instead! But with a purpose, which you’ll find out in the post. I found this project really interesting since I don’t know much about jewelry making, but now I sure do after Sara’s helpful advice!

Easter putz House from scratch by Fresh Vintage by Lisa S
Putz houses are all the rage for decor. And here comes Lisa, making her own pattern from scratch! Oh but wait, the blog post showcases a church version too… and it’s STUNNING.
