We recently came across an amazing article in Country Living with ways to upcycle old collectibles laying around your house. Here are a some of our favorites from Laurren Welch’s article plus a few from other ingenious DIY masters!
Teapot To Picture Holder. By simply wrapping artistic wire around the knob of an old teapot lid, you can make your own picture holder with an antique twist! We’ve seen this technique to hold pictures in homes and even as table number placeholders at special events!
Tattered Book to Bookmark. Have your books come full circle by salvaging the spines of old tattered books to transform into unique bookmarks. Line the inside of them with contact paper for more support and attach twine or ribbon to the top.
Shattered China To Precious Memories. Opa! Instead of getting upset when a piece of china breaks, put the chips on display in a playful shadowbox personalized with the date and occasion each dish met its fate.
