Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
Got an old measuring tape hangin’ around and some fun buttons? Why not whip up a fun set of bracelets. Bay Area Maker Faire May 21st & 22nd! Want to win a pair of tickets? Pop on over to Craftside and leave a comment to be in the running for one of 2 pairs they are giving away!
Looking for vintage buttons? Check these out on Etsy.
Old sporting equipment often gets discarded but certainly not by any recycled crafter. The clever crafter over at the blog Recreated Designs has created these rustic pumpkins from old tennis rackets. Pop on over to see the tutorial on how to make recycled old tennis racket pumpkins. I wonder if pickle ball rackets would work too?
Nice idea. I have seen watches made w/ tape measure bands but never thought of using buttons. There are alot of novelty buttons out there and this is a different, usuable way of displaying them.
