Upcycling Trends

I am thrilled with the Upcycling Trend. I can assure you my days off will be spent searching garage sales for the perfect finds. Upcycling is defined as the process of converting old or discarded materials and transforming them into something new, beautiful and useful.

For example, Pallets have been a hot pinning topic on Pinterest. Here are a few images of how you can change pallets into every day functional creations.









Do you have any old globes around you don't know what to do with? I found this unique way to upcycle and create unique decor for your home.


Or Maybe you just went on a trip, have a favourite photo to develop and have the map from the trip to make as a mat around the photo.


Or Maybe just make Coasters with it!


How about making a planter with old plastic bottles?



Taking an old Drawer and turning it into a Shelf. 


Need a Cheap Earring holder. Just paint a old Cheese grater.


Have Old Mason Jars and want to create a unique light fixture.


How Adorable to make a kids picnic table out of recycled Skateboards.


Not sure how you would prevent this from water damage, but I love the look of this piano fountain/planter.


Bright Idea!!! Old light bulbs for Oil lamps.


For that Musician lover how about this drum chandelier!


Old later for a bookshelf.


A bathtub transformed into a seating bench.


A brillant book shelf and conversation piece.


A T.V. aquarium.


Literally a "Book" shelf.



Deconstructed chair for a towel holder.


A Vintage suitcase as a medicine cabinet.


More vintage suitcases for stools or end tables.


Take old frames and change them into a serving tray.




Here is a link that has over 200 ideas for up cycling. http://www.popsugar.com/smart-living/Cool-Upcycling-Projects-24338804#photo-35094505 

Essentially there are millions of ideas on the internet. Before you throw something out, thinking it's junk check if you can make it functional for you again. 

Happy Upcycling my Followers. 
Post your transformation photos in the comments. I would love to see your creations!
