Trash to Treasure projects
If you like rainbows almost as much as your smart phone, then you are going to looooove this project from Ruth over at Living Well Spending Less. All it takes to get started is something that many crafters already have on hand: a collection of buttons.
At The Pink Hammer Blog, Kelly shared a terrific idea for organizing jewelry. During a recent move, she was dismayed to discover how tangled her jewelry had become. When she found an old cheese grater that someone else was ready to throw out, inspiration struck.
Here’s an adorable little coin purse that was transformed by Ann-Kay of Ann-Kay Home. She started out with a very normal looking coin purse that had been left behind in the lost and found at work.
Lauren blogs over at The Thinking Closet, where she has quite a story about the lovely vintage purse she inherited. It belonged to a dear family friend, she tells us, saying, “ I have fond memories of visiting her ivy-covered house; we would sit on her back patio, sipping juice from tiny aluminum cans, and then play croquet in her big backyard.”
At Crafts a la Mode, Linda is lucky enough to have a collection of vintage costume jewelry. She bought most of her pretty adornments at tag sales for about 25 cents a piece.
Sheri blogs at Awesome Sauce & Asshattery. Recently, she purchased a vintage sequin blouse that was not in the pristine condition she’d been led to believe. She was able to carefully repair it by removing this broken zipper.
I’m really loving all the cuff bracelets I’ve been seeing crafty people make, lately. I’m super excited about the ones that Jennifer of The Magic Brush is making from old baseballs!
At House Revivals, Amanda admits that while she’s been crushing on all the lovely cuff bracelets she’s seen others making, she didn’t want to have to sew anything to make one of her own. Wanting a quick and easy project, she was excited to realize that the answer was an old shirt!
