How about turning an old armoire into a super cool computer station? Or a suitcase into a cat bed? Maybe an old speaker box into a coffee table (complete with popcorn bowl)? It really is time to clean out the garage...

One Person's Trash Another's Treasure

by Terese Hartjoy @ Thorne's World

upcycle repurpose crafts eco art

From bloggers to businesses creative people find new ways to give new life to the "waste" of others. One person's trash becomes another's treasure as item by item people are saving space in the landfills by reusing, repurposing and upcycling.

Curbside finds get a new life with these rescued and repurposed home furnishings or this wicker chair and a spot of paint.

Dr Declutterbug has great ideas for cleaning up along with some photos of beautiful upcycled sculpture from the Leanin' Tree Sculpture Gardens in Boulder Colorado, and TransAction creates wearable body art from leather scraps that large leather companies would otherwise throw away!

Creative Upcycling

Every Inkle Counts!

by Terese Hartjoy @ Thorne's World

upcycling crafts weaving repurpose

I don't know what an "Inkle Loom" is, but it's a great word, isn't it? It sounds tiny to me...

Q: "How much room do you need to do that?"
A: "Oh, just an inkle."

Q: "Are you going to be finished soon?"
A: "In an inkle!"

Q: "Would you like a second helping?"
A: "Well, I suppose I could eat another inkle and still have room for dessert."

Turns out that it is indeed a tiny loom, perfect for weaving bracelets or ribbons from mystery thread. I like it. What can you do in an inkle to make a difference?
