The kitchen is one of the largest consumers of water and energy in a home. As such, there are plenty of opportunities to decrease your carbon footprint with the right remodels. UPCYCLE: BOOK FOLDING In defense of making art from old books: I love books. I am a "reader" in every sense of the word - I devoured them as child, I have a PhD in linguistics, I was a reading teacher for 7 years, I'm a full-time copywriter, I have a kid's book "in the works" and I revere authors. REPURPOSE: OLD TOYS = NEW GROWN-UP DECOR Turn old doll-house furniture into a jewelry tree! Tutorial with craft-store purchased chairs here.I say, pile up a bunch of mismatched dollhouse pieces or plastic toys, which are so hard to give away orsell back.
REPURPOSE: TANKS, SKIRTS & T-SHIRTS This means I've been looking around and now I'm really inspired! The DIY empire-waste dress above is from TripOverJoy. She added fresh fabric to an old tank. Not sure I'm the right shape to pull of a little dress like this, but her finished product looks awesome on her! REPURPOSE: HANG ON TO YOUR WOOD HANGERS! Yes, it's possible that old wood hangers might break, and somehow no longer be able to perform their hanger-ly function. But that's not thepoint.
REPURPOSE: VINTAGE LINENS If nothing else, her blog sent me looking for ways to upcycle and repurpose vintage linens, sheets, pillow cases, hankies etc. I think I found some awesome last-minute, upcycled Mother's Day gifts! REPURPOSE: OLD GUITARS CAN STILL ROCK! Old guitars can still rock - repurpose them! I am a professional guitar player and recently I have purchased one new “Yamaha F310 Dreadnought” acoustic guitar. REPURPOSE: NEW POP FOR OLD BALLOONS Balloons are a cheap way to bring a lot of color to a party space so we use too many of them and don't think much about it. Then we dump them in the garbage or, even worse, happily release hundreds of helium-filled orbs into the air. UPCYCLE: MASS-PRODUCED CANVAS BECOMES ORIGINAL ART A project like this doesn't fall under general repurposing or upcycled craft. But I'm sharing it anyway because it does reflect my commitment to finding new uses for things I AN APP THAT HELPS US UPCYCLE The app was called Cora, and it was supposed to be “your mobile app for a lower impact life”.Cora promised its backers the ability to search for items they wanted to get rid of or upcycle, and then presented them with ideas for new projects, or connected them to people in their area who were looking for the exact items they were trying to get rid of.
