I love making these little things (even though I still haven't found a good use for them 😅)

100% recycled materials, every scrap came from a local seamstress (I help recycle fabric from all over, scraps are the hardest to find something to do with) can't wait for the Ren faire!!!!! (This particular skirt was made in a mermaid theme)

They might be smart, but they definitely don't understand the concept of DIY vs store bought.

This one is a shredding toy, calcium supplement and foraging toy, custom made for his foraging level, favorite textures and interests. If i can make it, why not?

Bicycle parts salvaged from FreeCycles in Missoula (nothing functional enough from bicycle construction). Cordage from Giving Art to Missoula, both salvage materials nonprofits.

My son and his friends work in construction, and they give me their old jeans when they replace them with new ones…. I know my projects look a bit trashy, but I am happy anyway lol 😆 I love making aprons, skirts and whatever else strikes my fancy. Denim is so useful, it’s my favorite Upcycle source.

Just thrifted this cute button up that I'd like to alter to be more fitted. I picked the inspo pics specifically because I like the slightly gathered bust area (the mostly white shirt), and I really would like to add pleats or something similar on the bottom edge of the shirt to add some volume at the bottom. Anyone have tips for how to cut and sew the shirt to get the pleats and gathered bust? Or links to patterns, tutorials, whatever?

Hi, I am very new to this skill/trade. I know this would be very difficult to replicate, but I refuse to pay like 1k on a sketchy website for this 🥲 the 2nd image is just what style of pant i would format the scalloped pattern onto

Im getting rid of the plastic bits, but idk what to do with the case. It's really pretty & the set was a gift from my grandma so I wanna keep using it despite having used the supplies inside.

Anyways, any and all advice is appreciated, thanks!

I fortunately don't have many holes in my clothes or clothes that need repair, but I'm into crafty stuff and can do basic hand sewing. I'm thinking I could maybe sew it into a blanket or something using my other large pieces of fabric I have in my scrap bag?

I inherited this lift top table that was made by my grandfather who passed when I was a baby. I'd love to keep it but am struggling to think of upcycle ideas. Its approx 43cm squared, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Second life for my favorite jeans! They were worn out and torn near the pocket, so I upcycled them into this corset top.

Still doing my best to use up all the bulk cards I’ve been recently gifted! I love how cute these all came out ❤️ will definitely keep making more!!

So I am getting a lot of junk mail recently, a lot from political flyers on pretty good cardstock. I'd like to reuse the card stock for various other art projects, but I'd like to cover up the print. I've tried painting it over with cheap white acrylic paint - doesn't work well on glossy cards, and isn't opaque enough. Regular printer paper is too thin, so if I glue it on top of the cards, the print also shows through. Would love ideas on how to cover up old print - ideally with a substrate that lets me use gel pens or markers on it, but opaque and flat enough to cover the previous print. Will experiment with black paint.

This is my most used purse. Unfortunately I bought it before I switched over to only buying natural materials so it is made of pleather, and predictably it has started to degrade. Normally I’d just replace it, but I love this purse so much because it’s the perfect size and shape! The inside is still in perfect condition, it’s just the outer pleather that’s peeling. I can replace the strap, but now the body is also starting to peel. Does anyone have any ideas on covering up the outside so I can give this bag a second life?

My cousin gave me this little mirror as a birthday gift and someone ended up shattering kt. For now the pieces are still held together inside but are ratteling. I know it can't be the same as before but is there anything I could do to make it less of an eye sore /cute.

Found this for £10 in my local charity shop, planning to turn it into a Moana style dolls house for my Moana mad 2yo niece 🥰 Ideas welcome, I'm going to start with a plain base coat of white paint so it's a blank canvas. Might need to actually watch Moana as well as I am not 100% of the plot / characters other than Moana, Maui and the chicken 😅

Wrapped in distressed denim with pants for sleeves. Is it too much or not enough 🤔

I have a pair of faux leather trousers that have beeb damaged and started to peel from being the dryer too long.

The peeling is mainly around the belt area, with patches around the legs.

I'm not a seamstress, but I've had the idea to replace the material around the belt, and put applique on the patches on the legs. I know plastic leather deteriorates over time, so idk if that will hold for a time?

Thoughts and recs would be super helpful, I'm not ready to give these up yet 🙏🏿

My job accidentally ordered a bunch of the wrong plastic soap dishes that we can’t return. I want to do something crafty with them rather than just throwing them away. I’m open to pretty much any ideas. It’s about 3”x4”

What would you make with these?

Found this broken on side of the road with a free sign. I removed the legs for it to fit in my car and ended up replacing some hardware. Got a lead test, all clear. Cleaned and fixed it up for my toddler as a craft station that was short enough :)

Skeleton made of the cardboard tubes from rolls of dog poo bags. I enjoyed making him and I’m thinking maybe I’ll make a little village of them.
