Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
Dudecraft posted this photo and asked for suggestions on how to make it. There are some great ideas there. I love the look of this, kind of industrial/quilt/wood floor like. I personally would go with the gluing method.

I don’t have much available way space as I cover my walls with art. But I do have big white plain kitchen cabinets so this idea for putting big red ribbons on them to clip the Christmas cards to is perfect. This idea for displaying holiday cards is featured at the blog Life As Mama along with a bunch more.
These ideas are stunning! So innovative and creative!
The only problem with this one is that I only have about 3 old belts so it’s gonna be a very narrow floorcloth 😉
What a fabulous idea with the leather belts! I would sew them (on my industrial machine) onto burlap or something with no “give”. Then put non-skin rubber layer underneath. Great idea!

I’ve never seen anything like this before, who would’ve thought!
Oh i really love this idea. Thrift stores have tons of great old worn leather belts and i love the feel of them.
I love this!! Great use of old belts and I love the history (and stories) that it brings.

This is such a neat idea; I wouldn’t have thought of using belts as flooring. Bravo! I used old thrift shop leather belts to “cane” a chair seat by weaving the belts. It turned out to be a great project and gets a lot of attention at home. http://www.ehow.com/how_5634671_weave-leather-chair-seat.html
That’s a fab idea! I just wish I had that many old leather belts to use! Check out
