 |
|
A few months ago, I fell into the world of upcycling, which is taking trash and making it into useable items.
IT IS FUN.
So far, I have made...
A basket from a Cheez-Its box:
Two chokers from old bra straps and soda tabs (the other is blue):
Some present bows out of chip bags:
And a whole bunch of paper bead bracelets:
Have any of you upcycled before? What have you made?

I took this thread and put cat pictures in it.
more seriously: turned old jeans into interior decoration. |

My wife's been refurbishing Cabbage Patch dolls back to good-as-new. I've been running D&D campaigns over the internet (which is like upcycling; I take the hobby of people who don't live near any other gamers, and give them something to do with their internet connection once a week that isn't looking up porn).

I turned the skull of my enemy into a drinking cup.

Dude everyone knows skull cups are intended for red wine.

From my experience the skull's of my enemies always give great head.

I take yarn harvested from sweaters bought in the rummage shops and knit them into other things. Like hats.

I turned a pair of gloves into puppets. They looked like someone had skinned Elmo for them anyway, so it was appropriate.
