Upcycle Repurpose Something With Potential No Waste

 

Upcycle Repurpose Something With Potential No Waste

Hi! Welcome to LilacsNDreams! A major thing for me with upcycling, and repurposing is I hate to see something with potential go to waste. There are many things in the home, thrift stores, second hand stores, and around us that can be upcycled, and repurposed. 

UPCYCLE is taking an item that is headed to the trash, and being discarded or forgotten. Put it into the recycle bin , and turn it into something useful again. 

REPURPOSE simply means using an item in a way that wasn’t originally made, or intended to be used. 

Think outside the box to find items that you can create with. Things in your home, thrifting, junking, yard sales, estate sales, and sometimes a curbside find too. There is no rules, or limit on how you can do things.  Many upcycle, and repurpose items into something useful for the home. Get the look you love without spending a lot of money. Save some money, and have a unique decor for you or given as a gift too. 

Here is a list of some ideas to consider, and to maybe make things that you want for yourself. 

*Globes can be used for hanging in a nursery, and the globe stand could be used to make a paper towel stand.

* Instead of discarding an old lamp shade you could make it into a wired basket that can be used for a waste basket, use it for storing things, and a basket to put with your decor. 

*Use a ladder, and make it into a blanket rack. 

*A vintage, or old bar cart could be made into an end table. Open area could hold plants, or maybe place a lamp on it too. 

*Vintage tea cups you don’t know what to do with? They are adorable as candle holders. 

*An old dresser, or buffet can be made into a bathroom vanity

*Old shutters can be made into wall, or home decor

Possibilities are endless, and so much fun too. Also, you made it makes it a little more special too. 

To see more pictures, or images from the list I shared you can google it, or better yet you could look on Pinterest where many ideas are shared by many people. Look for images of finished items, and sometimes some of the images will have instructions for how they were designed. Another place to look would also be on Tik Tok where you will get some live feeds to show you things too. 

Hope everyone enjoyed some ideas of taking trash, and making them into treasures. DIY projects are great for everyone to do.
