Try these easy dinosaur bookends! A little spray paint transforms them from toys to interesting features in a room. You can find this craft at doodlecraft.blogspot.com. Natalie and her family love experimenting with new ideas. I love that her blogging has become her easy-reference book for future projects! I can just see these in a kids room!
Mom will love this knife block. Transform the most basic item in the kitchen into a focal point! At bigdiyideas.com you'll find an abundance of ideas to make and upcycle. http://www.bigdiyideas.com/42-craft-project-ideas-that-easy-to-make-and-sell/
What about the man in your life? Yep, there's a project for him...and this one is a real manly one!!! Look at this recycled car hood at Recyclart.org. I just love the natural colors in this piece!http://www.recyclart.org/2009/03/recycle-car-into-table/
Hometalk.com has some practical ideas that are simple, but smart. This upcycled storage for items that are used all the time is easy and charming. Perfect for the farm kitchen!http://www.hometalk.com/16382145/five-minute-farmhouse-footed-stool
And finally, I just adore a good recycled jean project. This number can be found at the EllePuls store on Etsy.com. With jeans, I prefer the more intricate projects. Just love this purse with varying shades of jeans and leather bottom and strap. On Pinterest, you can find a number of jean projects...and who doesn't have some old jeans that need to be recycled! What did the "old timers" say? "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without." We've created a waste land of items thrown away. Wouldn't it be lovely to use this simple principle in our everyday life!
Hope you liked the "Quick Five!" today. Now, let's get busy creating some of these fabulous projects!
