Repurposing: Teapot Lamp

This wonderful old teapot was no longer useful for drinking out of. We also had a cracked lamp that despite its imperfection, still worked. After drilling a couple of holes in the teapot I took the lamp cord out of the cracked lamp and strung it through the teapot.

Repurposing: Bon Bon Magnets

Happy Valentine's Day!


This empty box of chocolates made for a wonderful display for these decorative bon bon magnets made from buttons!



I came across a couple of board games that were missing pieces. I glued little magnets on the back of the game pieces to make some unique and whimsical magnets!

Reinventing: Valentine's Day Vintage Hangings

These adorable hangings were once vintage cards and postcards. They are decorated with glittered ric rac and red tinsel trim.


They would make for a great little gift for Valentine's Day!


Or maybe just decoration around your home?

Upcycling: Valentine's Day Paint Can

Isn't this red paint can adorable? It would make a great gift container for Valentine's Day!


I came across this plain red paint can and after a little bit of decoupaging and adding red tinsel for trim it's ready to grace any shelf for this love filled holiday!

Upcycling: Iced out Ice Bucket

We had an ice bucket donated that was scratched around the outside and overall in sad shape. Using a wide variety of broken jewelry we keep on hand, we glued the pieces as well as small mirrors on the bucket. The end result is a blinged out ice bucket worthy of even the most upscale occassions!

Reinventing: Guest Bathroom Soaps

Do you have a growing collection of hotel soaps or ribbon scraps? I used a decorative sticker to cover up the ends of the ribbon and created a great little vintage inspired soap for the guest bathroom!
