It’s a solid wood piece but the brush area is starting to mold a tiny bit

Future City by me

Hi. So, to cut things short: over the years, I've accumulated a few small plastic toys that I'm not really gonna use, but I also think it'd be sad to just throw them out, as they are in mostly good condition and there's not really a way to recycle them. They are: a bunch of little pokémon figurines; two plastic toy snakes; a fairy figurine, made of ceramics and very cute, but one of her wings is broken; a keychain with somebody else's name on it, made of resin

So, most of these where gifts, or just things that I got as a kid. I live in Brazil and I don't really participate in any of those "buy nothing" groups, so that's not really an option. If anyone has a way to put these things to good use, I'll be glad to hear it.

not sure if this is the right subreddit for this, but im not even sure what would. i have a pair of jeans that are one of the only pairs that are comfortable on me (im autistic and cant handle skintight clothes.), but im plus size and I guess im still gaining weight. oof. i would like to upcycle/diy these pants so theyre baggier, because thats the only way pants are comfortable on me. i wear exclusively cargo pants. but I dont know how to do that and I do have a sewing machine but its 80 years old and I cant figure out how to do the bobbin so i'd rather not use it. i can hand sew. theyre way more peach in person. if im adding visible fabric i'd like it to stay with a tan/red/white/grey colour scheme.

I keep a lot of plastic containers (thanks Grandma) as well as glass jars. My poor husband is starting to resent my hoarding of containers and I need some fresh ideas on storing them as efficiently as possible 😂 Any usage ideas are welcome as well! I just cringe so hard throwing stuff like that away!

First time making anything like this but I think it came out really well!

The purée tube worked really well, not so mutch with the other stuff I tried: a hand cream tube (too slippery, cut my hands A Lot), and some tea light cases (too small, not a great shape). The edges are also pretty sharp so this is not a craft for kids!

(If you saw me post this with a typo earlier no you didn’t)

I have those cheap 50 cent Walmart plates from when I was in college and I have grown to hate them and my bf doesn't like the texture of them. They're a little beat up but I don't want to just toss them. Any ideas on what to do with them? Or can they be recycled? Id donate them but I know they'd get sold for more than they're worth.

I recently inherited many doillies made by my Baba (Grandmother.) I definitely will never use them for their intended purpose, but they're too beautiful to be kept in a box.

I've seen people mount and frame them but this really isn't my style either. I'm looking for creative/artistic ideas to upcycle them into something I would showcase in my home. I'm artistic, so I have some of the skills required for artistic projects. I can sew by hand and have minor experience with a sewing machine. Can also use power tools if someone comes up with something in that area.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this. I would appreciate any and all ideas, no matter how weird or crazy they might sound. Please help...I really don't want them to live in a box until someone inherits them from me.

Hello!

I recently won a piggy bank (the type you break open when it's full) in an office Christmas game. The problem is I live in a primarily cashless country, it's actually difficult to spend physical cash here so I make probably 95% of my purchases via card or the local money transfer app. Are there any creative uses for this prize so I don't need to start using the ATM?

I love these chairs. I want to keep them.

Some are 10+ yrs old and still good , not an epic upcycle I know but useful

Dear upcycling community, after various moves and a big sorting out day, we have a whole shoebox full of cutlery that doesn't fit together. Various spoons, forks, knives and some cookware like soup ladles. Something in my tinkerer's heart tells me that I can't throw it away. But what could I do with it? I am grateful for any creative ideas! I love crafting and have a garden, if that helps!

Would people want these if I post them on Facebook? It's all scrap from my job. We end the day with around 20-30lbs of used parts. Most of them are still good but let's just act like they are all broken to make this easier. What could I do with them? I don't think it's all zinc even though my scrapyard just gives me a blanket price of zinc for all of it. I think most of its stainless? Idk.
