upycling ideas

Upcycling is the new recycling if you ask me. It’s also the foundation of any good craft project.

If you’ve got the tendency to hoard or stash, then just this once, you’re in luck. You already have a rich source of crafting supplies and items at hand. So all that’s left is for you to figure out what you want to do with them.

Here’s a list of 47 amazing projects where you can repurpose and upcycle to your heart’s content!

1. Scented Candles

Every room needs, no, deserves at least a couple of scented candles in them. They brighten up the entire room, make it smell fresh and wonderful, and can do wonders to perk up the atmosphere in there.

You don’t want to be buying so many candles, though, not when they can be so expensive.  And definitely not when you can be making your own at home.

Grab some mason jars from your recycling bin to upcycle into candle jars, beeswax or soy wax flakes, candle wicks from here, dyes, and finally, essential oils(look here).

2. Denim Storage Bins

The next time you’re about to throw away an old or ratty pair of jeans that you can’t wear anymore, just hold up. Why don’t you upcycle those jeans instead?

What can you make, you ask? A ton of creative things, like this upcycled denim storage bin. You can use scrap fabric you have in your stash to line the edges and give your bins cute cuffs.

Depending on the size you make them into, you can use these bins to keep different things organized and clutter-free. You can use them to store skeins of yarn, craft supplies, sewing supplies, and more.

Phone holders that you pick off the internet are all good, I’m sure, but are they absolutely fabulous like these ones. Moreover, would you believe me if I told you they were made out of toilet paper rolls?

They’re super easy to make and pretty to look at, too. You also probably have all the supplies you need already, so it also means they’re going to cost you next to nothing to make.

It all comes down to picking out your washi tape. The pattern on your phone holder will depend on the washi tape you use, so you can pick up some right here.

If you have the habit of hitting up flea markets, then the odds are that you will find an old wood wardrobe or dresser you like but needs a makeover. Go ahead and pick it up, then take a look at how you can jazz it up into, say, a dresser for your child.

Next, grab some paint cans and give your dresser a couple of coats of paint. Feel free to buy or even mix your own paint.

This project uses chalk-finish paint which is a mixture of a third portion each of plaster(look here), water and paint. You ought to lay out newspapers when you’re mixing the paint to catch spills and splatters.

5. DIY Wooden Shape Puzzles

Kids need a ton of interactive playtime filled with activities that can boost their motor and cognitive skills. You can cater to those needs if you have a little spare time to do a little woodwork and make your kids these shape puzzles.

You can upcycle old wooden blocks or scrap wood you have lying around your home from previous projects. So, pull out your toolbox for your saw and a sander(look here), grab some acrylic paint, clear varnish from here, and painter’s tape from here.

Once you’ve sanded the wood and smoothened the edges, it’s time to draw and subsequently paint different shapes on them.

6. No-Sew T-shirt

The best and easiest way to make a new tee is to upcycle one you already have. Come on; I know you have a few old tees in the back of your closet you never use but can’t make yourself throw away. Go ahead and grab one now.

If there’s one thing that bothers me endlessly, it’s when crayons break, and you can use them anymore. It’s such an annoying nuisance, and it’s also such a waste to have all those broken crayons just lying around unused in a stash.

Why don’t you gather all those crayons and peel away the paper wrapping? We’re going to turn these crayons into a fun and colorful batch of rainbow crayons.

Grab an old muffin tray and place all the broken crayons in the cups. Now, you can place different colors in each cup for a marbled rainbow finish, or you can place crayons of the same color and shade in each cup—it’s up to you!

Do a little digging and pick out your painting or canvas of choice. Then, buy a couple of cans of spray paint, masking tape like this, and also some vinyl letter stickers from here.

Using your fabric scissors, cut the bottom of the tee into three long strips, still looped by the seam. The bigger your tee, the bigger the headband, so make sure you don’t use a really small one.

I’d recommend that you wear a pair of protective gloves while working on this project. You’ll be working with pretty rusted items, so it always pays to be extra careful.

Wire Lampshade Frames into Plant Stands

If you’re making a visit to a dumpyard to get rid of a lamp that’s beyond the realm of salvaging, then I suggest you strip that lamp for spare parts. You can always use the metal frame of the lampshade for other projects, like this one where you can turn it into a plant stand.

Vintage lampshades, in particular, work really well for this project as they have intricate patterns and designs that look amazing. You can even buy them, but since we’re dealing with an upcycling project, I’d recommend you check a thrift store first.

So, start stripping the material or fabric off the frame. You can use a pair of scissors and even salvage the fabric for scraps if you like.

This project is a little elaborate, I’m afraid, and calls for an exhaustive list of supplies and tools. But, trust me, it’s definitely worth it when you get to show off your quirky denim planters.

If you switch out the flowers for something like a bowl of candy, this also makes for an amazing Halloween prop. I mean, a pair of denim-clad legs just hanging out all by itself…spooky, right?
