Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
These cute earrings are music to the recycled crafter’s ears. Shannah at UpCycleMart upcycles discarded CDs into pairs of cute and unusual earrings, like this geometric-themed pair made from the printed side of the CD. She also works with the unprinted side of CDs and embellishes with paint and dainty beads. Check out the upcycled earrings collection at her Etsy shop.
Just because a vintage wood thread spool isn’t flat doesn’t mean it isn’t the perfect little space to feature art on. Thread art on fabric or wool is great or paintings on paper or canvas could work too. Pop on over to teh blog Winding Vine Wanderings for more about this cute little stitched art on a recycled vintage wood thread spools.
I love the earrings and especially like the ones made with the bingo chips. They are so light and pretty looking.
