What can I do with these plastic utensils I’ve accidentally collected over the years? I already keep some in my car. I thought of donating them to people who host events, but then they’d just be tossed anyway. Hmmm…ideas?

I've been interested in upcycling in the past few months (especially in upcycled fashion) and I shared my interest with friends and families but they seem like they're not interested at all. I really don't get it. There's a great cause behind upcycled fashion and all the apparels are truly one-of-a-kinds.

Do you guys think upcycled fashion will eventually become mainstream or no?

I just wish more people appreciate upcycled fashion and know about it.

I have a Graco motorized baby swing that we can’t use anymore. Is there anything interesting out there we can repurpose the parts into? I hate throwing away perfectly good stuff but I also don’t have any friends with babies who could use it. Ideas?

So I have a few left over brick tiles (bricks cut into thin strips to create a fake brick wall look) that I‘d really like to use for a project, do you have any ideas what I could do with them? My first idea was to use them to line my garden beds but there aren’t enough left.

I removed the handle and added my own chain to make it a cross body purse :)

Someone on FB market is supposed to drop this off for me Friday, hoping they actually come through. I’m thinking of sanding it down and making it a light wood color. The glass piece broke so I’m really looking for ideas to fill that hole lol. I had the idea of using rattan but I’m not super sure how to get it to stay in place without any seams around the edges :/

Hello all!

I have a metal shed in my yard left by a previous owner and I am going to be tearing it down. It's made up of a metal frame and 1ft x 6ft metal panels.

Does only one have a reason these panels wouldn't be safe to use in the constitution of raised garden beds?

I would build a wooden skeleton and use the metal sheets as the sides, and then put trim over the metal edges so no sharp edges would be exposed/ make it look professional

It’s more green than the picture but idk what to do with this beauty? She has potential but goddamn she’s ugly. Like those holes look more like gills. Anyways, I have a very gothic-punk style.

Any suggestions?

As the title says, we've had this chest freezer for about 10 years. It finally killed over and now I'm trying to think of what to do with it. I've seen ideas of just turning it into some vermin resistant storage or maybe a root cellar if I can dig a big enough hole... would love more ideas from you brilliant folk.

I am working on some wooden nightstands and bookshelves. I am no artistic in the sense of drawing things, but would like to add more than just color to the items. What brand do you guys recommend for things like stencils and stick on decals? Long lasting and some weather proof options?

I got 4 of these chairs for free yesterday and wondering where to start. I'm very new to this so excuse my ignorance but Google does have lots of conflicting messages.

should I be sanding down and removing all paint? or should I be sanding, priming and repainting? and also, are they too far gone?

Painted these old jeans with jacquard brand white fabric paint but there are weird dark spots. I’ve tried painting more coats but they won’t go away. It’s not a stain, it’s like the paint doesn’t work there. Any ideas how to fix?

As the title says. Sometimes they have too much and give away small scraps or even massive rolls of fabric I'd love to use so they don't end up thrown away. I just don't know what I'll do with them if I get any either for free or the price shown. I'm thinking Ill make blankets for the homeless people in my city for the upcoming winter but I know I'll still have scraps to spare and I'll have no clue what to do them. All I know is that I don't want these perfectly usable fabrics in the land fill. Ideas?

The picture sucks but you get the idea. I'm excited to make more and maybe give them to friends and family 💕 I think this one used to be a curtain(?)
