You might have noticed that I have a healthy addiction to
repurposing ideas. I just can't get enough!
repurposing ideas. I just can't get enough!
people made out of balls of string?!
'Tis the Season to repurpose your 'junk' jewelry,
your flea market finery, your thrift store trinkets:
These clever artists repurposed some beautiful vintage pieces of jewelry
into Christmas tree works of art:
At thrift stores do you ever run across used books printed in
German or other foreign languages? Use the pages to decoupage
old Christmas balls. Add glitter. Very elegant!
This lovely star is 'composed' of sheet music -
as are these Christmas balls.
When you have to replace a light bulb, do you toss the old one
into the trash or the recycle bin? Stop - save it for Christmas!
Just be careful when handling light bulbs.
They break easily but can be tons of fun.
Yes, these are light bulbs wrapped
in twine. Precious!
Ever find yourself with just one glove?
Turn it into a squirrel:
Great stocking stuffer!
Old sweaters make great mittens, too:
I hope today's repurposing ideas inspire you
to create your own upcycled holiday crafts.
So many good ideas, but I particularly like those Christmas trees.
