Happy Tuesday! A bunch of you tweeted me some great ideas this week for reusing old things in new ways. Thanks so much for participating! As Mike and I {slowly…much too slowly} unpack our belongings and settle in to our new house, we have already had the chance to re-use some things in new ways: Our old kitchen table became my new office desk, and an old entertainment center became my sewing-room storage.
@smilinggreenmom tweeted me this link with some great craft projects using candy wrappers {perfect timing…Halloween candy sure does produce a lot of trash!} A sweet little headband:
Jason, in the comments, said a friend of his gave him the idea to use old window frames as picture frames. This is a seriously cute idea and makes me excited for garage-sale season.
I found this Design*Sponge post about using window frames to make a little garden table, too!
And this project puts old coffee cans to a beautiful new use:
I’m feeling all inspired to do a few projects now. You can look forward to a step-by-step DIY ReuseTues project post coming soon! And keep tweeting me your own projects/ideas/links as well!
[…] That wraps up this week’s edition of ReuseTues. I hope you’re feeling inspired to reuse something instead of throwing it in the trash! And if you can’t reuse or recycle it, you could always re-gift it…..Speaking of which, I am currently taking donations/gifts in the form of old window frames, which I will reuse as picture frames. […]
FYI, your dog’s new name is Snowplow. At least around my living room.
Happy Thanksgiving!
