Re-purposing. It's a trendy thing to do these days. Or wait, hasn't re-purposing been around for a while? Yes, it has. It is something I love to do and I find a fun challenge at times. It is great way to save money too, using what you already have. Or perhaps a freebie you found or were given can become something usable for your family. What kind of new life can you give something today? Here are some really great ideas.
I love this ingenious idea! A Cap Hat Beside Pocket from Joy's Jots, Shots & Whatnots.
Tin Can Solar Lantern from Craftiments.
Ghost Finger Puppet from a Milk Jug from Crafty Journal.
This idea re-purposes 2 things; T shirts and a decoration to make something new and useful. Trivets from T Shirt Yarn from The Tip Toe Fairy.
Bottle Top Pendants from Jelly Fish Jelly.
Painted Sign from an Old Window from Painted Style.
Vinyl Record into a Clock from Wesens Art.
Cracker Box Lid Holder from Crafty Journal.
Postage Stamp Jewelry from Jewelry Making Journal.
Patch Box for Fabric Scraps from With A Blast.
Typewriter Keys to Ear Rings from The Pretty Pickle.
Denim Storage Basket from Buttons and Paint.
Pantry Items to cleaner; New Twist on an Old Cleaner from Our Old Homestead.
A DIY Burlap Box from Let's Drink Coffee Darling.
T Shirt Beach Bag from Buttons and Paint.
Dish Towels from Drop Cloths from VMG206.
Toy Scoop from Crafty Journal.
A Coffee Table from Pieces to Treasure.
Transforming Bed Sheets to Curtains from My Sew What Blog.

Thanks for including my fabric scrap box, Connie !
ReplyDeleteWow this is an awesome list. Lots of ideas to steal here. Thanks for featuring my "Bedside Pocket Cap!" You are right, we've been recycling/repurposing for years. It's not a new thing. As a child, my family with parents and grandparents that had made it through the depression, still made do with what we had. We couldn't afford to run out and buy something new to replace something everyday. It was just habit, and actually the way of our life then and still for me now.
ReplyDeleteI am all about repurposing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list! Now that I am staying home with our kids I'm always looking for ways to reuse things to save money, and because I actually have the time to do some of these projects :) I love the dropcloth towels, adding them to my project list :)

Found you from the "From the Farm" blog hop. These are some amazing tips. I like the milk jug toy scoop. We play legos often and this would be so easy to make and use. Kiddo would love making, creating and scooping.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what one can repurpose. Thanks for sharing these with SYC.

ReplyDeleteI love those dropcloth dishtowels! Thanks for sharing so many cool ideas. ~Ali from Pies & Puggles
ReplyDeleteLove the painted window store sign. Pinned:)
ReplyDeleteYou are right - repurposing HAS been around for a long time. It's funny when I tell my dad about a project I'm working on and he'll say Your grandmother did that same thing back in the '40's!
ReplyDeleteI guess life really does come full circle.
great ideas love repurposing stuff!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! Good point about repurposing, I always get a chuckle when I meet an older person who has been doing "pinterest" worthy projects for years and they have no idea they are so trendy!
ReplyDeleteI really like that window sign!
