Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
I believe that a collection of anything can be pretty but when you start out with lovely things the effect of a group of them is positively stunning.
Such as in this case where the designer at the blog Sassy Trash made this wonderful wall art with black purses, frames and some florals.

I love vintage matchbooks and their graphics, they are such a cool little bit of history. Even the concept of a matchbook is dated as there isn’t smoking in public places. So repurposing the packaging format to hold all sorts of tiny things is such a great idea. Pop on over to the blog Reading My Tea Leaves to see all sorts of things you can package in a matchbook and how to make them.
These are fantastic! I love the color consistency of the bags and the photos – great way to display treasures!

What a nice way to make your wall different with handbags.
What a great idea! I so want to do this. Now I’m on the hunt for old purses!
Thanks!

This is so pretty. Went to our local resale shop after i saw this……and found one of these vintage purses! I am soooooo going to do this! Now if i can only find a few more. I even found a vintage frame at the same store! Score! Thanks for the idea.

I am thinking this is a great craft idea for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, she must have a huge stash of those lovely black handbags she has with her all the time. 🙂
