6 Upcycling Ideas To Try In 2017

Who doesn’t love a bit of DIY from time to time? Taking on smaller, simpler projects can be a lot of fun and will really help you put your own stamp on your house – although don’t try and do something that you don’t have the necessary skills and experience to complete, as you could find you do more harm than good to your home. If you are interested in doing some upcycling this year, here are six different projects you could try. Which of these is your favourite?

Hanging whisk tealight holders

This couldn’t be simpler to achieve and they really do look amazing! Simply invest in a few metal kitchen whisks, hang them in your home and then place tealights in them for a really fun and unique candle holder. If you’re worried about fire risks, simply use battery-operated tealights instead.

Vintage tennis racket mirrors

This would be so easy to do and you can’t deny that they look great when hung on the wall. If you’re looking for an easy DIY to sink your teeth into, why not give this one a try? It would also be an easy one to involve the kids with.

Sweater lampshade

Reusing old clothes around the house couldn’t be easier with this sweater lampshade tutorial, courtesy of Unskinny Boppy. All you have to do is pull the sweater down over your shade, then trim it to fit and use hot glue around the edges so it stays in place. Job done!

A piano bookcase

Now, this one might take a bit more planning than some of the others on this list but you can’t deny the impact this would have. Get yourself an old grand piano (eBay is probably your best bet), take the top and bottom of it off, then hang it on the wall to use it as an incredibly bookcase.

Bathtub daybed

Still looking for the perfect DIY project to sink your teeth into? Then check out this bathtub daybed. What could be better? Chopping it in half will certainly be fun and you can put your sewing skills to the test by making the cushion insert yourself.

Window coffee table

Those of you who like the shabby chic style will certainly love this DIY idea. Take an old window, turn it into a box, add some legs and voila! You’ve got an incredible coffee table that everyone will be jealous of. Watch as they pinch the idea for themselves!
