We moved house three months ago and I chucked so much stuff out it was crazy. Now? I’m totally regretting it! I love upcycling projects and I’ve already started scouring my local boot fairs for stuff I could do up – I’m never chucking stuff out again! These upcycling projects are all cute, cool and totally fabulous plus as they’re upcycled they’re saving perfectly good things from going to the tip, it’s all winning!

LOVE the sleeves for cups! super cute, just in time for the cold weather starting to creep in!
There are some amazing ideas there, I particularly like the suitcase shelves and the clock.
I still love your succulents in tea cups. I am keeping an eye out for new cups (old) cups to upcycle
I have so many tea cups and so many succulents – I think there must be a word for people who hoard them like I do. I need to declutter though and now I’m trying to resist all of these brilliant ideas!
I am in that place here, clearing out to move and trying to let go! But, also hoping I will have space for an up cycling cupboard, def not getting rid of all the weird things I have hung onto!
I love them all, but really want to make my own bag out of a t-shirt so i’m finding out how to do that right now xx
What a great list of ideas – we’re decluttering too and I’m looking at everything in new light as I do in case there’s something I can upcycle x
Wow, some super ideas there but I just never find the time to do these kind of things, despite thinking they look fabulous. Mich x
I am terrible for throwing stuff away when it gets broken, will have to look into upcycling instead
Oh I totally hate posts like this as they just make me want to hoard even more stuff and Im desperately trying to get rid!! I’m loving the t-shirt bag!
So many lovely things I’d love to make! Love the suitcase shelves and the driftwood mirror. Great list!
