Hey everyone! I hope you've all had a lovely week. My post for this week is another "How-To"! (Are you noticing a pattern here at all?) I promise for next week I will have something different for you!
So as you know from my last post I recently had a major clean up of my room, and I wanted some pretty decorations to place here there and everywhere that could be useful and pretty at the same time! So..... *drumroll please* I decided to do some up-cycling!
What's up-cycling I hear you ask?
I think it is a fantastic idea, and it's also good for the environment too! So I thought I'd show you some of the different ways I have up-cycled glass jars and bottles.
1. As a stationary holder:
For these jars I made a collage of my favourite pictures on picmonkey.com which is a very easy to use and free website! I then stuck the collages onto my jars with contact and painted the screw top. Easy peasy and pretty!
2. As a jewellery/hair item holder:
I used these ones to hold my bobby pins, rings and little bits and bobs. For the jar with my name I stuck letter stickers on first and then painted over the top. Simple simon!
3. As a decoration:
That's all for now but I'll definitely be adding more when we have some more empty jars!
Which one is your favourite? Have you ever upcycled?
Over and out,
Erin
That's some cool ideas :)
ReplyDeleteHi Erin,
ReplyDeleteI have some crates hanging on my bedroom wall as shelves, but I think that's all I've ever upcycled properly to be honest.
I love the little flower vase on the left! Such a cute idea.
Have a great day,
