Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
Margot Potter, The Impatient Crafter has outdone herself with this fantastic re-purposing of old Spirograph spiral wheels into a whimsical necklace. I love the color and scale of this piece. I can’t wait to hit the thrift stores in search of an old Spirograph toy.
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?

Thanks so much for the write up! I truly appreciate it! I had such fun making these. I was thinking…wouldn’t they look cool with spin art backgrounds?
Cheers,
